vaccine injury
Shot-caused adverse effect
Vaccine injury refers to harm allegedly or actually caused by vaccination.
The term appears in legal and medical contexts—the U.S. has a Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for documented cases.
In broader usage, vaccine injury often signals skepticism toward vaccine safety, appearing frequently in anti-vaccination discourse where causation may be asserted without scientific support: She blamed her son's autism on vaccine injury.
