Anam Mulumba filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 30, 2023, alleging a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 13, 2020. Petitioner claimed the injury was a Table injury and that he suffered residual effects for more than six months post-vaccination.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages. Petitioner was awarded a lump sum of $40,000.00 for all items of damages.
