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

David Parker filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 14, 2015, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine administered on September 22, 2014. Mr.

Parker stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, that he experienced residual effects of the injury for more than six months, and that he had not received a prior award or settlement for this condition. The respondent denied that the flu immunization caused Mr.

Parker's alleged SIRVA or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages on October 31, 2016.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. The stipulation awarded David Parker a lump sum of $65,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The court directed the clerk to enter judgment accordingly, unless a motion for review was filed.
