Bobby Joe Love v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (2021)

Bobby Joe Love filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a flu vaccination on October 31, 2016. He claimed to have suffered residual effects for more than six months and sought compensation.

Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injuries, and denied that his current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on damages.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Bobby Joe Love was awarded a lump sum of $67,223.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

This decision was based on the joint stipulation between the petitioner and the respondent.
