Nicholas Gallelli v. HHS - Prevnar 13, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Nicholas Gallelli filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that the Prevnar 13 vaccine he received on June 22, 2015, caused him to sustain a left shoulder injury, known as Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), which lasted for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr.

Gallelli sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused his shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation for an award.

The stipulation stated that Mr. Gallelli would receive a lump sum of $6,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Judgment was entered in accordance with the terms of the stipulation, awarding Mr.

Gallelli $6,000.
