Jason Manus v. HHS - HPV, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Jason Manus filed a petition on November 13, 2019, alleging that he suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination he received on January 24, 2019. The respondent conceded entitlement to compensation, agreeing that Mr.

Manus had no prior shoulder issues, that his pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, was limited to the injection site, and that no other condition explained the pain. The respondent also agreed that the residual effects lasted more than six months.

Based on the concession and the evidence, the court ruled on entitlement on April 29, 2021. Subsequently, on January 14, 2022, the parties submitted a proffer on damages.

The respondent recommended an award of $62,813.72, comprising $62,500.00 for pain and suffering and $313.72 for past unreimbursable expenses, which Mr. Manus agreed to.

The court awarded this amount as a lump sum payment.
