Jordan Sussman v. HHS - Hepatitis B, left shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Jordan Sussman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a Hepatitis B vaccination on January 4, 2017. The petition stated that the vaccination occurred in the United States, the injury's residual effects lasted more than six months, and no prior civil action award or settlement had been made.

Respondent denied that Sussman sustained a Table SIRVA or that the vaccine caused his injury. Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Jordan Sussman a lump sum of $45,000.00. This amount is intended to compensate for all damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.

The decision directs the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with this decision, pending any motion for review.
