Anthony Norman v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Anthony Norman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine he received on January 25, 2018. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On January 11, 2021, the Respondent conceded that Mr. Norman's claim met the Table criteria for SIRVA and that he was entitled to a presumption of vaccine causation.

Following this concession, a ruling on entitlement was issued on January 13, 2021, finding Mr. Norman entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on April 5, 2021, the Respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, stating that Mr. Norman should be awarded $55,000.00, which represented all elements of compensation to which he would be entitled.

Mr. Norman agreed with this proffered award.

On May 6, 2021, the Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Mr. Norman a lump sum payment of $55,000.00, payable to him, as compensation for all damages.
