Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and can it be caused by vaccines?
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare nerve disorder where the immune system attacks the nerves, causing weakness, tingling, or numbness in the arms and legs. There have been cases where people developed CIDP after receiving certain vaccines like the flu shot, TDaP, Hepatitis B, or MMR. While this is uncommon, it may qualify as a vaccine-related injury under federal law. Check the official Vaccine Injury Table to see if you qualify. If you or a loved one developed CIDP after a vaccination, Hultquist Law can help you understand if you are eligible to file a claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Every case is different, so it’s best to schedule a consultation to review your specific situation.
What are the symptoms of CIDP and how is it diagnosed?
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) often starts with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands and feet. Over time, symptoms may spread and get worse, making it harder to walk or use your arms. People with CIDP may also feel tired or notice trouble with balance. To diagnose CIDP, doctors usually do a full exam, nerve tests like an EMG, and sometimes a spinal tap to check for signs of nerve inflammation. Because CIDP can look like other conditions, getting the right diagnosis early is key.
If you’ve developed these symptoms—especially after a vaccination—it’s a good idea to consult a lawyer experienced with vaccine injury claims. Hultquist Law helps clients across the country understand their legal options for CIDP-related vaccine injury claims.
Does the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) cover CIDP vaccine injuries?
Yes, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may cover Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) if it was caused by a vaccine. This federal program helps people who suffer vaccine-related injuries get compensation without filing a traditional lawsuit. CIDP can be linked to vaccines like the flu shot or tetanus shot, and if there’s evidence showing the vaccine likely caused the condition, a claim can be made through the VICP. Because the process can be complex, it’s smart to speak with a vaccine injury lawyer. Hultquist Law helps people across not just Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but also the rest of the country, understand their rights and file VICP claims. A consultation can help determine if you may qualify.
Can I file a vaccine injury claim for CIDP in Rhode Island or Massachusetts?

You are also eligible to file from anywhere in the United States. This is a federal program, so your location doesn’t limit you — claims are filed with a special court in Washington, D.C., usually without needing to travel. The most important factors are getting a vaccine that’s covered by the program (like the flu, tetanus, or hepatitis B shot) and having medical proof that the vaccine caused your CIDP. Every case is different, so it’s smart to speak with a vaccine injury lawyer like Hultquist Law to review your situation and see if you meet all the legal requirements.
