Injuries
What the court compensates, and what it looks for.
Each guide covers the signs, which vaccines list it on the Table, the onset window, the deadline, and the one piece of evidence that matters most.
SIRVA
Shoulder Injury (SIRVA)
The most common vaccine-court claim by far — a shot given too high or too deep in the shoulder.
GBS
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
A rare autoimmune attack on the nerves, on the Table after the flu shot.
Brachial neuritis
Brachial Neuritis
Deep, severe shoulder-and-arm pain followed by weakness, on the Table after tetanus-containing vaccines.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis
A severe whole-body allergic reaction within hours of the shot.
Encephalopathy
Encephalopathy and Encephalitis
Brain inflammation or dysfunction, on the Table after pertussis- and MMR-containing vaccines.
Chronic arthritis
Chronic Arthritis
Persistent joint inflammation after a rubella-containing vaccine.
ITP
Thrombocytopenic Purpura
A sharp drop in platelets after a measles-containing vaccine.
Intussusception
Intussusception
A bowel obstruction in infants after the rotavirus vaccine.
Fainting injury
Vasovagal Syncope
Fainting after a shot — compensable when the fall itself causes a serious injury.
Off-Table
Off-Table Injuries
Transverse myelitis, CIDP, ADEM, seizures, and everything else not on the Table — still compensable, but you must prove causation.
