Taking Zostavax, a clot-busting medication, can cause side-effects that can be dangerous to your health. If you or someone you know has taken Zostavax, you may be able to get compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve experienced. A Zostavax lawsuit is one way to get this compensation.
Class action lawsuits
Thousands of Zostavax patients have been injured by the vaccine. A Zostavax lawsuit could help these individuals receive financial compensation for their injuries.
Zostavax is a shingles vaccine manufactured by Merck & Co. The vaccine is designed to lower the incidence of shingles in people at high risk for developing this condition. However, the vaccine has been linked to serious adverse side effects, including blindness and shingles.
In 2006, Zostavax was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a vaccine that contains an attenuated form of the herpes zoster virus, a strain of the varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox in children. It is also believed to stimulate the immune system to fight the disease.
In 2006, the vaccine was approved for marketing by the FDA, but it was not required to warn consumers about the potential side effects of Zostavax. As a result, thousands of Zostavax patients have been injured, including blindness, paralysis, brain damage, and death.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program does not cover Zostavax. In addition, Zostavax is not included in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. This act was enacted in 1986 to protect people who are injured by vaccines.
Many of the plaintiffs in Zostavax lawsuits claim that Merck & Co. intentionally misrepresented the safety of the vaccine. The company also failed to adequately test the vaccine and warn consumers of the potential adverse effects.
There are many Zostavax lawsuits pending in various state courts. One of the most recent cases involves a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In order to be eligible for a Zostavax lawsuit, you must have received the Zostavax vaccine and have been diagnosed with shingles within two years of receiving the vaccine.
Zostavax lawsuits have been filed in several state courts, including the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the District of New Jersey, and the Northern District of California. The cases are divided into two bellwether groups, Group A and Group B. These groups are expected to be ready for trial in late September.
Merck is the sole manufacturer of Zostavax in the United States. The vaccine is used to prevent shingles in patients 50 years of age and older. However, the vaccine is not recommended for children. It has been linked to serious adverse side effects, such as blindness, paralysis, brain damage, heart failure, and death.
Side-effects
Thousands of people have reported Zostavax side-effects and complications. They can range from minor to severe. Some of the most common side-effects of Zostavax include a rash, pain, hives, and swelling at the injection site. Depending on the severity of the side-effects, they may take a few minutes to a few months to appear. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Zostavax was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006. It is used to prevent shingles, a painful skin condition that can lead to scarring. Zostavax is administered as a single dose by injection in the deltoid area of the upper arm. It is not for use by pregnant women or nursing mothers.
Zostavax has been linked to various injuries and fatalities. In the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), more than 1,000 reports have been made linking Zostavax to serious health conditions. A lawsuit has been filed against Merck, the manufacturer of Zostavax. It has been alleged that Merck failed to warn users of the risks associated with Zostavax. In addition, Merck has been sued for manufacturing a defective product.
Zostavax has been linked to heart failure, vision loss, and hearing loss. Zostavax is given to older adults to prevent shingles. It is not safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Among the most serious side-effects of Zostavax are injection-site reactions, a rash, pain, and swollen glands at the injection site. Other side-effects include joint pain, swelling, redness, bruising, and fever. It may also interact with other drugs. Zostavax should be avoided for 3 months after vaccination.
Zostavax has been linked to congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood. The condition can be fatal without rapid treatment. It is a chronic condition that is progressive. In addition, the rate of serious cardiovascular events in subjects who received ZOSTAVAX and placebo was similar.
Zostavax has been linked with post-herpetic neuralgia, a condition that causes itching, burning, numbness, and extreme sensitivity. Post-herpetic neuralgia may result in fatigue, depression, and difficulty concentrating. It is also associated with necrotizing retinitis, which can cause blurred vision.
Design defect claim
Several lawsuits claim that the Zostavax vaccine was defective. These claims are based on the fact that the live virus contained in the Zostavax vaccine caused an auto-immune reaction that led to shingles. This caused a number of outbreaks that have been linked to the vaccine.
While the Zostavax vaccine is designed to protect adults 50 years and older from shingles, it is unclear whether the vaccine is effective. Zostavax is a brand name product that was manufactured by Merck. The vaccine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006.
While there are a number of Zostavax lawsuits currently pending, it is likely that many of them will be resolved before trial. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants failed to warn consumers of the risks associated with Zostavax. Specifically, they claim that the drug company knew Zostavax could cause vision loss, but did not adequately warn consumers.
The Zostavax vaccine is designed to prevent herpes zoster (shingles) in adults. This product was approved by the FDA in 2006. A North Carolina patient received the Zostavax vaccine in 2016. In the months after the vaccine was administered, the patient developed shingles.
Several Zostavax lawsuits allege that the vaccine was defective, and that Merck & Co Inc. Pharmaceuticals should have designed the vaccine in a safer manner. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the company should have submitted a safer design application before submitting the Zostavax vaccine for approval by the FDA. The vaccine was approved on May 25, 2006.
While Zostavax is a successful brand name product, it is not without its risks. The Zostavax vaccine is designed to protect people from herpes zoster, but it may also cause other illnesses. In fact, it has been linked to acute disseminated encephalopmyelitis (ADEP) and meningitis. This vaccine also is less effective over time. Moreover, the Zostavax vaccine has been linked to death.
If you or someone you know suffered from a Zostavax side effect, it is important to contact an experienced attorney for advice on your legal rights. The Zostavax vaccine may not have caused the disease, but it is still defective, and you deserve to be compensated for the harm it caused.
