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

Jonathan Law filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 17, 2021. He alleged that he sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), which is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, and that the residual effects of this injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Law sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury.

Despite these denials, the parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Mr.

Law a lump sum of $55,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. This award represents a negotiated settlement of liability and damages, and the court ordered that judgment be entered in accordance with this decision.
