David Hall v. HHS - Pneumococcal, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

David Hall filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar-13) vaccine he received on May 31, 2017. He stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, that he experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for his condition.

Respondent denied that Mr. Hall sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused his injury, and denied that his condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr.

Hall a lump sum of $29,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.

The parties also agreed to submit to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
