John Rogers filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) and influenza (flu) vaccines on August 21, 2017. The respondent conceded that Mr.

Rogers' medical course was consistent with a SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that he satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on July 2, 2020, finding Mr.

Rogers entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on July 6, 2020, the parties filed a proffer on award of compensation.

The court awarded Mr. Rogers a total of $68,079.61, consisting of $67,500.00 for pain and suffering and $579.61 for past unreimbursable expenses.

This amount represents compensation for all damages available under the Act.
