Injuries from a Vaccine?

Our DC and Boston Injury Lawyers Hold Drug Companies Responsible for Injuries

While the vaccination of children against various infectious diseases has been proven effective, there is growing concern that vaccines may be harmful in some cases. Vaccination involves the injection of weakened or non-living microorganisms that cause diseases. Vaccinations stimulate the patient's immune system to prepare a defense against the disease.

Reactions to vaccines can occur because of the organisms introduced into the body. For example, the vaccination may actually produce the disease it was intended to prevent. Also, some widely-used vaccines contain the controversial preservative Thimerosal, which contains a small amount of mercury that some believe can be harmful to children. Many vaccines can also produce severe allergic reactions. A Washington DC or Boston injury lawyer can help.
