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

Darren Champion filed a petition for vaccine compensation on November 17, 2021, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of his November 6, 2020 influenza vaccination. He claimed this was a Table injury and that he experienced residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Mr. Champion suffered a Table SIRVA injury or that any vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on November 12, 2024, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision.

Mr. Champion was awarded a lump sum of $25,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

This award covers all items of damages, and the parties have released all claims related to the alleged injury in exchange for this payment.
