Vaccine Injury Law Experts files claim for Flu Vaccine Injury
WELLESLEY, Mass. – Oct. 12, 2016 – PRLog — Gold law Firm, LLC, a national vaccine injury law firm
recently filed a vaccine petition for a 44-year old man who had a severe vaccine injury reaction to the Flu
Vaccine resulting in Guillain-Barre’ Syndrom (“GBS”). The case, filed in the Court of Federal Claims in
Washington, D.C., sought recovery under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
“This case is a striking example of the injuries and adverse reactions that can occur as a result of
vaccinations,” says Howard Gold, a leading Vaccine Injury attorney.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu vaccine is designed to protect
young and old alike from contracting the Flu, which can have devastating affects on the infirmed and
elderly and can be debihlitating to otherwise healthy individuals, leading to more severe conditions,
including Pneumonia.
In this most recent case, 16-vv-1295 v. SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, the
Petitioner received the Flu Vaccine and shortly thereafter began to experience tingling and numbness in his
lower extremities. He was quickly diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and responded quite
favorable to IVIG therapy. (Learn more about GBS here http://www.gbs-cidp.org/) He has made an
incomplete recovery, and continues to have residual weakness and numbness from his flu vaccine injury.
Guillain-Barre’ and other reactions are continually reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting
System (VAERS) as occuring after the Flu Vaccine. See, http://www.vaers.hhs.gov. “I strongly believe that
children and adults alike should be receiving all of their mandatory vaccinations. However, it’s important to
talk to your health care practitioner about the risks,” states Gold, who has been handling Vaccine cases for
20 years.
Gold, a vaccine injury lawyer and head of the Gold Law Firm, a national vaccine injury law firm also says
that there is nothing inherently wrong with the Flu Vaccine but that each person is different and reacts
differently to each vaccination. That is why it’s essential that the public be aware of a Program intended to
compensate them if they do, in fact, suffer a vaccine injury.
Petitioners have three (3) years from the onset of the injury (or two years from date of death) to file a claim.
Gold states that the “Program is not used as much as it could be because the American public is just not
aware of it. I receive at least 5 calls a month from individuals who cannot obtain compensation because the
deadline has passed. They just found out about it too late. We all need to do a better job in getting the word
out to the public that the Program exists.”
