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

Edward Rodier filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 9, 2017, alleging he sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccination received on October 9, 2015. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) Report conceding that Mr. Rodier was entitled to compensation, concluding his injury was consistent with SIRVA and caused by the flu vaccination, with no other identified causes and residuals lasting more than six months.

Based on this concession and the evidence, the court found Mr. Rodier entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on May 16, 2017, a decision awarding damages was issued. The respondent had filed a proffer on award of compensation in her Rule 4(c) Report, indicating Mr.

Rodier should be awarded $105,391.16, which Mr. Rodier agreed with.

The court awarded Mr. Rodier a lump sum payment of $105,391.16.
