Frederick Green v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Frederick Green filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 11, 2016, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine in his left deltoid on December 6, 2014. He stated that he received the vaccination in the United States, experienced effects of the injury for more than six months, and had not filed a lawsuit or received compensation for the vaccine-caused injury.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Green's shoulder injury or any other disability.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on July 20, 2017, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Mr. Green was awarded a lump sum of $87,000.00 as compensation for all available damages.
