DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1
On February 7, 2024, Jeffrey Pack filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”), a defined Table injury, or in the alternative a significant
aggravation injury, after receiving an influenza (“flu”) vaccine on December 2, 2022.
Petition at 1, ¶¶ 2, 9; Stipulation, filed Dec. 22, 2025, ¶¶ 1-2, 4. Petitioner further alleges
that he received the vaccines within the United States, that he suffered the residual effects
of the SIRVA for more than six months, and that neither he nor any other party has filed
a civil action or received compensation for his SIRVA. Petition at ¶¶ 2, 8, 10-11;
Stipulation ¶¶ 3-5. “Respondent denies that [P]etitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury;
denies that the vaccine caused [P]etitioner’s alleged shoulder injury or caused or
significantly aggravated any other injury; and denies that his current condition is a sequela
of a vaccine-related injury.” Stipulation at ¶ 6.
