Freddie Roland v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Freddie Roland filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine he received on January 28, 2020. The petition was filed on January 11, 2021, and later amended.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Roland's injury but, the parties reached a joint stipulation for compensation.

The stipulation stated that the flu vaccine is on the Vaccine Injury Table and that Mr. Roland's symptoms lasted for more than six months.

The parties agreed to settle the case, and the court adopted the stipulation as its decision awarding damages. Mr.

Roland was awarded a lump sum of $13,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the program. This award represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
