Jay Zimmer v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Jay Zimmer filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on August 13, 2020, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on September 14, 2017. He stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the condition persisted for more than six months, and he had not received a prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that Mr. Zimmer sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that a vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on August 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. Zimmer was awarded $94,600.00 as a lump sum payment for all items of damages.

The court directed that judgment be entered in accordance with this decision.
