Jeremy Williams v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Jeremy Williams filed a petition for vaccine compensation on June 23, 2021, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a Td vaccination received on May 29, 2018. He claimed the residual effects of this injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the Td vaccine caused the injury or any other injury, and denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on June 21, 2021, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision.

The decision awarded Jeremy Williams a lump sum of $46,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The decision was finalized on June 23, 2021.

Petitioner was represented by Heather L. Pearlman of the Law Offices of Leah V.
