Andrew Luksch filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine he received on October 26, 2020. Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused his alleged injury.

Nevertheless, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages.

Petitioner was awarded a lump sum of $25,000.00 for all items of damages.
