Gregory Hampton filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccination on November 5, 2020.

The court awarded Gregory Hampton a lump sum payment of $75,635.00 for pain and suffering and past unreimbursable expenses.
