Bradley Haag v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injuries (2020)

Bradley Haag filed a petition on May 11, 2018, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He alleged that he suffered left shoulder injuries as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on November 12, 2015, and that the injury lasted more than six months.

The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged shoulder injuries or any other injury, and denied that Mr. Haag sustained a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) Table injury.

Despite these denials, on October 16, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision. Mr.

Haag was awarded a lump sum of $65,479.36, payable by check to the Petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case.

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.
