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

Mark David Lundin filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of his September 25, 2013 influenza vaccination. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent conceded that petitioner's left shoulder injury was consistent with SIRVA and was caused in fact by the flu vaccine. Respondent also agreed that no other cause was identified and that petitioner met the statutory requirements for entitlement.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 21, 2017, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on May 25, 2017, respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, indicating petitioner should be awarded $71,012.26.

Petitioner agreed with this proffered award. The Chief Special Master awarded petitioner a lump sum payment of $71,012.26, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
