Sean Patrick Regan v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Sean Patrick Regan 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 an influenza vaccine he received on September 26, 2022. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr.

Regan is entitled to compensation. The respondent agreed that Mr.

Regan's alleged injury is consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that he satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Following the ruling on entitlement, the respondent filed a combined Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer, which Mr.

Regan agreed to. Based on the record, the court awarded Mr.

Regan a lump sum of $42,000.00 for pain and suffering. This amount represents compensation for all damages available under Section 15(a) of the Act.
