Can we take any legal action against a big hospitalifour child was over vaccinated?

My husband and I are facing a situation which upset us and we would like a legal advice. In fact, I just gave birth to a baby girl. At the hospital, they were supposed to give her 1 Hep B vaccine and

instead of 1 they gave her 2 by mistake. They said that it was a mistake and wouldhave no side effects on her health. As parents, we are really upset and can’t understand how a big hospital can make such a big mistake like that. Can we take any legal action against the hospital?

Has your daughter been harmed in any significant way? We hope not; and assuming that she has not been, there is no legal action you can take. The civil law system (e.g. lawsuits) is designed to compensate people for actual injuries or costs, and the amount of compensation you can get is based on the extent of the injuries or costs. Without provable significant injuries or costs linked to the double vaccination, you can't get any compensation, so you would spend far more on the lawsuit than you would get back.
