Jeffrey Crosse v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Jeffrey Crosse filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he received an influenza vaccine on November 22, 2017, and subsequently suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The respondent conceded that Mr.

Crosse was entitled to compensation, as his condition was a Table injury and he met the criteria for SIRVA with onset within forty-eight hours and no apparent alternative cause. The medical records also demonstrated that his injuries lasted for more than six months.

Following the ruling on entitlement, the parties stipulated to an award of damages. The respondent proffered a total award of $120,395.99, which included $115,000.00 for pain and suffering, $2,121.00 for past unreimbursable expenses, and $3,274.99 for past loss of earnings.

Mr. Crosse, an adult, agreed with this proffered award.

The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding the stipulated amount on August 25, 2020.
