Ronald Orion v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and/or brachial neuritis (2023)

Ronald Orion filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that the Tdap vaccine he received on September 6, 2017, caused him to develop a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and/or brachial neuritis. He further alleged that he experienced residual effects for more than six months.

The parties later filed a stipulation for award, agreeing that compensation should be paid to Mr. Orion.

Although Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA or brachial neuritis Table injury, or that the vaccine caused his alleged injuries, they agreed to the joint stipulation. The Court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Mr.

Orion a lump sum of $85,000.00 as compensation for all damages. The decision was entered on May 26, 2023, based on a stipulation filed on May 9, 2023, and the petition was originally filed on July 1, 2020.
