Adam Yeoman v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injuries related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Adam Yeoman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered shoulder injuries related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on November 2, 2022. The respondent conceded that Mr.

Yeoman is entitled to compensation, agreeing that his injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table. The respondent noted that Mr.

Yeoman had no prior shoulder issues, his pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, and the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injection site shoulder, with no other identified cause. The medical records also demonstrated that his condition persisted for more than six months.

Following the ruling on entitlement, the respondent filed a proffer indicating that Mr. Yeoman should be awarded $50,000.00 in pain and suffering, which Mr.

Yeoman agreed to. The Chief Special Master awarded Mr.

Yeoman a lump sum payment of $50,000.00 for pain and suffering.
