What is a vaccine injury?

A vaccine injury is a negative side effect, injury, illness, or disease that results after receiving a vaccination — particularly the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. However, other vaccines can also cause adverse reactions in some people. If you suffer from pain, neurological problems, or other complications after a vaccine, help is within reach.

What are examples of vaccine injuries?

Anaphylaxis, a type of vaccine injury, is a severe allergic reaction that can become life-threatening if not immediately addressed — it would occur right after receiving the vaccine. You may develop other vaccine injuries later on, though, which Rediscover Health can help with. 

Examples of vaccine injuries include:

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

GBS is a rare condition that causes your body’s immune system to damage nerve cells. This can lead to muscle weakness and even paralysis. Other neurologic conditions that may result from vaccines include encephalitis (brain inflammation), Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis), and transverse myelitis (spinal cord inflammation).

Myocarditis and pericarditis

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, which has been observed in some people after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. Pericarditis, also a vaccine injury appearing in some people after the COVID-19 vaccine, is an inflammation of the outer lining of your heart.

Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)

TTS is a serious condition that can cause clots in large blood vessels. Some people experience it after receiving a vaccine.

Joint pain

Joint pain (discomfort in your knees, hips, spine, shoulders, or other joints) is a potential vaccine injury that can become debilitating when not addressed. 

Dementia 

Some people have developed memory loss (dementia) after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. 

How does regenerative medicine help with a vaccine injury?

Cellular repair therapies can reduce debilitating symptoms of vaccine injuries, such as chronic inflammation, joint pain, dementia, and others.

The Rediscover Health experts use regenerative medicine to help treat your condition.
