Jeffrey Warbritton v. HHS - Tetanus and Diphtheria (Td), left shoulder injuries related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Jeffrey Warbritton filed a petition for compensation on September 3, 2019, alleging that he suffered left shoulder injuries related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccine he received on August 24, 2018. The respondent conceded that Mr.

Warbritton is entitled to compensation, agreeing that his injury met the criteria for SIRVA on the Vaccine Injury Table. Specifically, the respondent noted that Mr.

Warbritton had no prior relevant shoulder history, his pain and reduced range of motion occurred within 48 hours of the vaccination, his symptoms were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained his symptoms. A ruling on entitlement was issued on February 26, 2021, finding him entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on March 30, 2021, a decision awarding damages was issued, granting Mr. Warbritton a lump sum payment of $47,500.00 for pain and suffering.
