Louis Mansolillo v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2015)

Louis Mansolillo filed a petition for compensation on November 5, 2014, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a trivalent influenza vaccination on October 4, 2013. The respondent conceded that the petitioner's injury was consistent with SIRVA and was caused by the flu vaccine, with no other causes identified and the injury persisting for more than six months.

Based on this concession, a ruling on entitlement was issued on January 21, 2015, finding Mr. Mansolillo entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on April 20, 2015, the parties submitted a proffer on award of compensation, agreeing to a lump sum payment of $100,000.00. This award was formalized in a decision on May 13, 2015.

Later, on October 9, 2015, the parties stipulated to attorneys' fees and costs, agreeing to an award of $9,116.90. A final decision on attorneys' fees and costs was issued on November 16, 2015, awarding this amount jointly to Mr.

Mansolillo and his counsel.
