Edward Carroll v. HHS - HPV, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Edward Carroll filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 5, 2021, alleging that he suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of his Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on June 14, 2017. He stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that his injury caused residual effects for more than six months, and that he had not received any prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that the HPV vaccine caused Mr. Carroll's right shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that he sustained a SIRVA Table Injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on March 2, 2021, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages.

Mr. Carroll was awarded a lump sum of $60,390.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
