Sean Taylor v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury (2019)

Sean Taylor filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that his November 4, 2015 influenza vaccine caused him to suffer a left shoulder injury. He stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that he suffered residual effects for more than six months, and that he had no prior award or settlement for his injury.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused his shoulder injury or any other condition. However, on November 8, 2018, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Sean Taylor was awarded a lump sum of $50,901.62, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The clerk was directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.
