Jerome Fredericks v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On November 27, 2023, Jerome Fredericks filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that a influenza vaccination administered on September 20, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Respondent denied that the petitioner sustained the alleged Table injury, denied vaccine causation, and denied that the current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The public stipulation materials do not describe the first symptom, onset interval, medical examinations, diagnostic testing, treatment course, or day-to-day limitations. The parties resolved the case by joint stipulation.

On March 28, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded $70,000.00 through counsel's IOLTA account as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
