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

Nicholas Saloman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 30, 2024, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on October 7, 2023. He also received a COVID-19 vaccine on the same date.

Petitioner claimed the SIRVA was a Table injury, with residual effects lasting over six months. Respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged injury or that it was a Table injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation for settlement. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr.

Saloman $11,500.00 in compensation for all damages available under Section 15(a). The decision was issued on May 12, 2026.
