Eduardo Morelos v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), brachial neuritis (BN), and/or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) (2024)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
Eduardo Morelos filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 10, 2021, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), brachial neuritis, and/or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after receiving influenza and Tdap vaccines on or about October 8, 2018. These vaccines are listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.
Respondent denied that the vaccines caused these alleged injuries. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation to settle the case.
Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr. Morelos a lump sum of $122,250.00 as compensation for all damages available under the program.
The decision noted that the stipulation represents a negotiated settlement of liability and damages, and is not an admission by the government that the vaccines caused the alleged injuries.
