Information\u00a0provided to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/esub\/index\">VAERS<\/a>, may also help identify high risk\u00a0factors\u00a0that make some individuals more vulnerable to suffering vaccine reactions. \u00a0To learn more about injury compensation and filing an injury claim, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvic.org\/injury-compensation.aspx\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you or your child experiences any of the symptoms listed\u00a0below in the\u00a0hours, days or weeks following vaccination, it should be reported to\u00a0VAERS.\u00a0 Some vaccine reaction\u00a0symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pronounced swelling, redness, heat or hardness at the site of the injection;<\/li>\n<li>Body rash or hives;<\/li>\n<li>Shock\/collapse;<\/li>\n<li>High pitched screaming or persistent crying for hours;<\/li>\n<li>Extreme sleepiness or long periods of unresponsiveness;<\/li>\n<li>High fever (over 103 F)<\/li>\n<li>Twitching or jerking of the body, arm, leg or head;<\/li>\n<li>Crossing of eyes;<\/li>\n<li>Weakness or paralysis of any part of the body;<\/li>\n<li>Loss of eye contact or awareness or social withdrawal;<\/li>\n<li>Loss of ability to roll over, sit up or stand up;<\/li>\n<li>Vision or hearing loss;<\/li>\n<li>Restlessness, hyperactivity or inability to concentrate;<\/li>\n<li>Sleep disturbances that change wake\/sleep pattern;<\/li>\n<li>Head banging or onset of repetitive movements (flapping, rubbing, rocking, spinning);<\/li>\n<li>Joint pain;<\/li>\n<li>Muscle weakness;<\/li>\n<li>Disabling fatigue;<\/li>\n<li>Loss of memory;<\/li>\n<li>Onset of chronic ear or respiratory infections;<\/li>\n<li>Violent or persistent diarrhea or chronic constipation;<\/li>\n<li>Breathing problems (asthma);<\/li>\n<li>Excessive bleeding (thrombocytopenia) or anemia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are other symptoms, which may indicate that you or your child has suffered a vaccine reaction. Not all symptoms that occur following vaccination are caused by the\u00a0vaccine(s) recently received, but it cannot be automatically concluded that symptoms which do occur are NOT related to the vaccine. Therefore, it is important for your doctor to\u00a0write down all serious health problems that occur after vaccination in the permanent medical record and to report ALL\u00a0serious symptoms or dramatic change in physical, mental or emotional behavior that does occur following vaccination to VAERS. \u00a0It is also important that re-vaccination does not continue until it has been determined that the serious health problem which developed after vaccination was\u00a0not\u00a0causally related to the vaccination(s). Continued vaccination in the presence of serious health deterioration could lead to vaccine injury or death.<\/p>\n<p>Although it has been the law since 1986 for doctors and other vaccine providers to report hospitalizations, injuries, deaths and serious health problems following vaccination to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/esub\/index\">VAERS<\/a>, it\u00a0is estimated that less than 10 percent, perhaps less than one percent of all vaccine-related health problems are ever reported. If your doctor will not report a serious health problem that you or child experienced after vaccination to VAERS, you have the right to make the vaccine adverse event report to VAERS yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Since its\u2019 founding in 1982, the National Vaccine Information Center has operated a Vaccine Reaction Registry which has served as a watchdog on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/esub\/index\">VAERS<\/a>\u00a0system.
