This may be malpractice though an attorney would have to get more information from you to determine if you have a lawsuit against the hospital, or perhaps even the vaccine manufacturer.

Without knowing the Plaintiff's or Defendant's names then it would be difficult to determine. If you knew the name of either party you could look up the case on your local county clerks web site and usually find the attorney information.
