WHO CAN FILE A ZOSTAVAX LAWSUIT?

​Individuals of all ages who have experienced severe or debilitating Zostavax side effects as a result of receiving Zostavax may be eligible for a Zostavax lawsuit and receive compensation for damages related to the vaccine. Zostavax is approved for people who are at least 50 years of age, but some people in their 40s have also been prescribed it. When deciding whether to apply for the vaccine, it is important to weigh the benefits against the potential side effects and risks. Not everyone who is at risk is a good candidate for the vaccine. Because Zostavax is a live vaccine, it is not appropriate for people who are immunocompromised or pregnant. Most of the Zostavax lawsuits focus on individuals who have experienced serious Zostavax side effects.
