Peter Kouzmov v. HHS - HPV, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Peter Kouzmov filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an HPV vaccine he received on June 18, 2021. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr.

The respondent proffered an award of $54,124.06, which included $52,500.00 for pain and suffering and $1,624.06 for past unreimbursable expenses. Mr.

Kouzmov agreed to this award. The court issued a decision awarding Mr.

Kouzmov the stipulated lump sum payment of $54,124.06.
