Danny Wilson v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2016)

Danny Wilson filed a petition on November 12, 2014, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 22, 2012. The respondent, Secretary of Health and Human Services, reviewed the case and concluded that compensation was appropriate, agreeing that the injury was consistent with SIRVA and that the petitioner met the legal requirements for compensation.

The injury was alleged to have residual effects lasting more than six months. The case proceeded as a Table claim, as SIRVA is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

On July 15, 2016, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to compensation. The stipulation confirmed that Danny Wilson received the flu vaccine on or about October 22, 2012, suffered a SIRVA with residual effects for more than six months, and that there was no evidence of an unrelated cause.

As a result, Danny Wilson was awarded $175,000.00 in compensation for all damages available under the Act.
