Randall Fondow v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury (2017)

Randall Fondow filed a petition for compensation on October 27, 2016, alleging that he suffered a left shoulder injury as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 20, 2015. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On March 21, 2017, the respondent conceded that Mr. Fondow's injury was consistent with a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and that he was entitled to compensation.

The respondent further concluded that the evidence established the injury was caused by the flu vaccine and had sequelae lasting more than six months. On March 22, 2017, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding Mr.

Fondow entitled to compensation. On May 2, 2017, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $102,882.81, which Mr.

Fondow agreed to. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Mr.

Fondow a lump sum payment of $102,882.81.
