Kerry Grant v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Kerry Grant filed a petition for vaccine compensation on December 2, 2020, alleging injury from an influenza vaccine received on November 18, 2019. The vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

Mr. Grant alleged he sustained a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) caused by the flu shot, and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Grant's alleged shoulder injury or any other condition, and denied that he sustained a SIRVA Table injury.

Despite these opposing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on May 17, 2022, agreeing to settle the case. The stipulation was adopted as the decision awarding damages.

Mr. Grant was awarded a lump sum of $40,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

This award represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
