Bursitis is a term that refers to inflammation of a bursa: a small, fluid-filled sac found near joints, between bones, muscles, ligaments and skin. Since bursas operate as cushions in the body to ease gliding movements of bones and ligaments with minimal friction, when inflamed due to over-repetitive motion, injury, infection, or reaction to a medication, this causes pain of the affected area upon movement. Shoulder bursitis is the most common type of bursitis. Shoulder bursitis caused by a vaccine injury is also known as SIRVA (Shoulder Injury Related to a Vaccine Administration).

If you notice any of these symptoms following a vaccination, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.

• Pain in the affected area

• Pain increases after activity

• Affected area feels tender

• Muscle weakness

• Pain with range of motion

• Fever or warmth around affected area

If you develop an injury after receiving a vaccine, you may be entitled to compensation. Here are the steps to take to pursue potential compensation:

Step 1 – Confirm Information on Recent Vaccines
Gather information on the date, brand (if noted), and type of vaccine(s) you’ve had within the last three years that preceded your symptoms. Once you have this information, move on to step two.

Step 2 – Notify the Doctor Who Diagnosed Your Injury
If you are currently being treated for your injury and realize that your symptoms began after a recent vaccination, you should make sure to bring this information to your medical provider’s attention. Your physician may not be aware of the connection, but having this information recorded in your patient file improves medical documentation that helps everyone get a better picture of any and all factors that could be the reason you developed a vaccine injury. In many cases, the medical providers are not aware of a person’s vaccination history and, therefore, may not consider the vaccination as a potential trigger.

Step 3- Seek a Free Consultation with an Experienced Vaccine Injury Attorney
If you received a vaccine and began to have symptoms following receipt of the vaccine, you may be eligible to receive monetary compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
