A2: Any time you receive a shot there can be an unintended consequence whether it be in the service or when you got your shots to go to grade school. If you feel that a shot you received in service caused you some problem and you can prove this. See an Accredited VSO from VA, DAV, American Legion or another Service Organization and they can help you. Do not listen to stockade lawyers that always seem to come up with something they heard.
