Gold Law Firm, LLC, the National Vaccine Injury Law Firm, files Vaccine Petition alleging Death Caused from Flu Vaccine

Gold law Firm, LLC, the national vaccine injury law firm that handles vaccine injury claims exclusively, recently filed a vaccine petition for a 92-year old woman who had a severe reaction to the Influenza Vaccine resulting in an exacerbation of her Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), an acquired immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system, which led to her death. 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 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. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm

In this most recent case, 16-vv-650v. SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, the Petitioner received the Flu Vaccine and shortly thereafter began to experience tingling and numbness in her lower extremities. She then went on to lose motor control and balance.  She was quickly diagnosed with CIDP which is a chronic form of Guillain-Barre' Syndrome.  She spent many months bedridden trying to breathe, walk and eat on her own. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her illness.    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 of a vaccine injury,” states Gold, who has been handling Vaccine cases for 17 years.

Gold 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, have a reaction.

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.”
