Geoffrey Clive filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) causally related to his receipt of an influenza vaccine on October 3, 2018. The parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation.

The stipulation stated that the influenza vaccine is on the Vaccine Injury Table and that Mr. Clive received it within the United States.

Clive a lump sum of $35,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). The parties also agreed to submit to further proceedings to award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

Mr. Clive released the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from any and all claims related to the flu vaccination.
