George Nava v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

George Nava filed a petition on January 3, 2019, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Mr.

Nava alleged that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine he received on January 4, 2017. The respondent denied that Mr.

Nava sustained a Table injury within the specified timeframe or that the flu vaccine caused his alleged left shoulder injury or any other injury. Despite these positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on June 15, 2021.

Special Master Katherine E. Oler reviewed the file and found the stipulation to be reasonable, adopting it as the decision.

The stipulation awarded Mr. Nava a lump sum of $47,000.00, payable by check, as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Program.

The decision directed the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment accordingly. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, treatments, or expert testimony.
