Kevin Reddington v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Kevin Reddington filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 3, 2020, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 2, 2019. He claimed the injury was a defined Table injury and that he met all program requirements, including receiving the vaccine in the United States and suffering residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Reddington sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury.

Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on July 10, 2023, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages.

Mr. Reddington was awarded a lump sum of $46,100.00, representing compensation for all eligible damages.

The Clerk of Court was directed to enter judgment accordingly.
