Brandon Robison v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Brandon Robison filed a petition for vaccine compensation on July 23, 2020, alleging he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on January 31, 2018. He claimed this was a Table injury or, alternatively, that the vaccine caused his injury.

The respondent denied that Mr. Robison sustained a Table injury, that the vaccine caused his shoulder injury, or that his condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 8, 2023, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision.

Mr. Robison was awarded a total of $130,000.00, consisting of $123,700.13 payable to him and $6,299.87 to reimburse a Medicaid lien.

This award represents compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The parties agreed that this stipulation was a full and complete negotiated settlement of liability and damages, and it was not an admission by the United States that the vaccine caused the injury.
