Jose Solis Marin v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Jose Solis Marin filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 9, 2020, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine he received on October 10, 2016. He stated that he received the vaccine in the United States, experienced residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement for damages.

Respondent denied that Mr. Solis Marin sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused his shoulder injuries 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 on September 9, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision.

Mr. Solis Marin was awarded a total of $127,099.37 in compensation, comprised of $111,413.46 for past lost earnings and pain and suffering, and $15,686.91 for a bill for services provided by Beebe Healthcare.

This award covers all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
