Aaron Scott v. HHS - Influenza, left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Aaron Scott filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 13, 2019, alleging he suffered a left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on March 27, 2018. The respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Mr.

Scott had no prior shoulder issues, experienced onset of pain within 48 hours of vaccination, and that his pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injected shoulder. The respondent also confirmed the case was timely filed, the vaccine was received in the United States, and the statutory severity requirement was met.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on September 14, 2020, finding Mr. Scott entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on March 1, 2021, the parties submitted a proffer agreeing to an award of $55,000.00. Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a decision awarding Mr.

Scott a lump sum payment of $55,000.00 for all damages available under the program.
