Jeffrey M Shur v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Jeffrey M. Shur filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 27, 2017, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of his October 30, 2014 influenza vaccination.

Mr. Shur alleged 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 Mr. Shur's alleged shoulder injury or any other injury.

The parties filed a joint stipulation on August 30, 2018, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision.

Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr. Shur was awarded a lump sum of $67,500.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The award was made as a check payable to Mr. Shur.
