He alleged that he suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), a condition listed in the Vaccine Injury Table, as a result of receiving an influenza (flu) vaccination on October 16, 2020. Mr. Jiggins claimed the injury occurred within the timeframe specified by the Table and that he experienced residual effects for more than six months. He also stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for his injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Jiggins sustained a Table SIRVA within the specified timeframe and denied that the flu immunization caused or significantly aggravated his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury. Despite these opposing positions, the parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and adopted it as the decision of the court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr. Jiggins was awarded a lump sum of $40,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner. This amount is intended to compensate for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The decision was issued on September 25, 2024. Petitioner was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant, PLLC, and respondent was represented by Ryan Daniel Pyles of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
