What is Aplastic Anemia?

Aplastic anemia is a rare but very serious condition in which the body stops producing enough blood cells to cover its basic needs. It leads to frequent infections and uncontrolled bleeding; in severe cases, these complications can be life-threatening. Aplastic anemia is considered a type of bone marrow failure since blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.

Aplastic Anemia From a Vaccine

First, always get medical attention as soon as possible. Then, contact a vaccine injury lawyer who can effectively represent you in the Federal Vaccine Court. If your aplastic anemia was triggered by a vaccine, you could be eligible for compensation for your vaccine injury.

Filing a vaccine injury claim is very complicated; one way to simplify the process is hiring an attorney. The good news is that you never have to pay legal fees when a vaccine injury lawyer represents you in the Vaccine Injury Compensation program.  When your case is finished, our Law Firm works with the court to get legal fees and reimbursements paid.  None of these costs are ever your financial responsibility.  You never have to share ANY portion of your money for damages with our law firm.

Aplastic Anemia and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)

VAERS is a database that tracks negative side effects after getting a US-approved vaccination  The database is managed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  The VAERS database is used to detect rare vaccine side effects that were not caught during clinical trials.  Below is a list of vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) that have been linked to aplastic anemia on the VAERS database.

Possible Links Between Aplastic Anemia and Vaccination

Below, we summarize sources that have reported a possible link between aplastic anemia and certain vaccines.

One case report found that a child developed aplastic anemia three weeks after receiving the chickenpox vaccine. The authors concluded that “pediatricians should be aware of this severe although rare” side-effect of the vaccine (Angelini et. al, 2009).

Pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar) vaccine: In 2006, the federal vaccine court compensated a family whose daughter developed aplastic anemia after receiving the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Influenza (flu) vaccine: The flu vaccine has been known to cause relapses in people who previously suffered from aplastic anemia (Hendry et. al, 2002).

Is Aplastic Anemia from Vaccines Treatable?

Aplastic anemia is sometimes curable, especially among younger patients. Because aplastic anemia makes people vulnerable to different kinds of infections, treatments often begin with antibiotics to tackle the infection. After that, the main treatments for aplastic anemia include:

• Blood transfusions
  • Red blood cell transfusions can increase red blood cell count and reduce tiredness.
  • Platelet transfusions can prevent uncontrolled bleeding
• Bone marrow transplant
  • In a stem cell transplant, the patient must have a donor who can give some of their healthy bone marrow
  • Donors are often siblings
  • The patient goes through radiation or chemotherapy to get rid of unhealthy bone marrow
  • The donor’s healthy bone marrow is then injected into the patient
• Immunosuppressants
• Bone marrow stimulants
• Antibiotics
• Antiviral drugs
• Chemotherapy

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
