Jason Groves v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Jason Groves filed a petition for vaccine compensation on February 2, 2021, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on November 11, 2020. The respondent denied that Mr.

Groves sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused his injury. Despite these denials, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement.

The stipulation stated that Mr. Groves received the flu vaccine in the United States and experienced residual effects of his injury for more than six months, with no prior award or settlement for his condition.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr.

Groves was awarded a lump sum of $25,000.00 as compensation for all damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
