Harry Robinson v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Harry Robinson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine received on October 15, 2016. He alleged the vaccine was administered in the United States, he experienced residual effects for more than six months, and there had been no prior award or settlement for damages.

Respondent denied that Mr. Robinson sustained a Table injury and denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury and residual effects.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on November 12, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision.

Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr. Robinson was awarded a lump sum of $46,896.30, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
