Larry Alex Klickstein v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Larry Alex Klickstein filed a petition for vaccine compensation on June 26, 2020, alleging injury from an influenza vaccine he received on November 19, 2018. He claimed to have sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) within the Table's timeframe, or alternatively, that the vaccine caused his shoulder injury, with residual effects lasting more than six months.

The respondent denied that Klickstein 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 denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on June 29, 2022, agreeing to settle the case.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Klickstein a lump sum of $35,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. This award represents a compromise of the parties' positions on liability and damages.
