Eric Scott v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Eric Scott filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 9, 2021, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine he received on October 13, 2018. He further alleged that his injuries lasted more than six months after the vaccination and subsequent surgery.

Respondent denied that Mr. Scott sustained a Table SIRVA within the Table timeframe and denied that the flu vaccine caused his injury.

Nevertheless, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 9, 2021, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as his decision.

Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr. Scott was awarded a lump sum of $65,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.

The clerk of the court was directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.
