Enos Wisniewski v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2017)

Enos Wisniewski filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 4, 2015, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 12, 2014. He claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States and that he suffered residual effects for more than six months, with no prior award or settlement.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged pain, numbness, and tingling in his left arm, wrist, and hand, or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 7, 2017, agreeing to an award of compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Mr.

Wisniewski was awarded a total of $65,496.72, which included $496.72 for reimbursement of a lien and $65,000.00 for all other items of damages.
