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

Michael Greim filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 13, 2023, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 9, 2022. Mr.

Greim stated he had no prior history of left shoulder pain, that the pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, that the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the shoulder that received the vaccine, that no other condition explained his shoulder pain, and that he suffered residual effects for longer than six months. The respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report on November 25, 2024, conceding that Mr.

Greim had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found Mr. Greim entitled to compensation.

The case was granted entitlement pending a damages decision. The public decision does not describe the specific symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case.

Petitioner counsel was William E. Cochran, Jr. of Black McLaren, et al., PC, and respondent counsel was Lauren Kells of the U.S.

Department of Justice.
