vaccine injury

Across the nation, a number of children—and even adults—have been injured by adverse reactions to a vaccination. For example, Faxon Law Group recovered $500,000 for an adult woman who suffered transverse myelitis—a neurologic syndrome caused by inflammation of the spinal cord—shortly after receiving a routine flu shot.
