Allergic Reactions to Vaccinations

Most people are vaccinated at an early stage in their lives, usually in infancy. Vaccines are safe for the general public and usually only have mild side affects at the injection site. The typical side effects redness, swelling, and itching at the site of injection. These will disappear in a day or two, although the patient may be left with some residual soreness.

However, some people have more serious reactions to vaccinations. If you or your child has suffered from a major reaction to a vaccination, you may have grounds for legal action if the doctor administering the shot failed to warn you of this risk.
