Joseph Dusrajh v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Joseph Dusrajh filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 17, 2024, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on September 18, 2023. He further alleged that he suffered residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a Table SIRVA injury, denied that the vaccine caused his injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Nevertheless, on April 14, 2026, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as his decision, awarding a lump sum of $20,000.00 for all items of damages.
