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

Yoshua Rozen 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 September 17, 2022. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr.

Rozen is entitled to compensation. The respondent agreed that the alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that Mr.

Rozen had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. A Ruling on Entitlement was issued on May 22, 2024, finding Mr.

Rozen entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on July 31, 2024, the respondent filed a Proffer on award of compensation, which Mr.

Rozen agreed to. The court awarded a lump sum of $55,889.55, which included $55,000.00 for pain and suffering and $889.55 for past unreimbursable expenses.

This award represents compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
