Kevin Foxx v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2019)

Kevin Foxx filed a petition for compensation on September 11, 2017, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 16, 2016. The petition stated the vaccination was administered in the United States, that there had been no prior award or settlement for this condition, and that the sequelae of his injury had lasted more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused petitioner's left shoulder injuries or any other injury or condition. Nevertheless, on March 18, 2019, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Chief Special Master Dorsey awarded Kevin Foxx a lump sum of $53,000.00, payable to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages.

The decision was issued by Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey. Petitioner was represented by Amy A.

Senerth of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Traci R. Patton of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The decision was posted on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website.
