If yes, read on for important information about an adverse reaction that can happen after vaccination and how you might be eligible for substantial compensation!

It’s normal to feel some pain, soreness or other discomfort at the injection site after receiving a vaccine, however, it is not normal for that pain to continue for an extended period of time and for the pain to cause you significant discomfort and interfere with your daily activities.

Most individuals that suffer from severe shoulder pain following a vaccine never connect the dots or they believe that this pain will eventually go away on its own all the while living in extreme pain. There are many reasons people can have shoulder pain – old age, overexertion, or some other life event so an arm injury from vaccination can be easily overlooked.

What many people don’t realize is that the federal government has recognized persistent shoulder pain and injury can occur as an adverse reaction to a vaccine administration. Key characteristics of a compensable injury are:

  1. Pain that begins within 48 hours of vaccine administration and that leads to decreased range of motion
  2. The symptoms persist for 6 months or more following vaccine administration

What is SIRVA?

Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) occurs when a medical provider injects a vaccine needle too high up on your arm, and the contents of the vaccine damage the tissues of the shoulder including the ligaments, tendons, and/or bursae.

Although many researchers report that this type of injury is rare, the truth is that it this type of injury is severely underreported, not rare.

Can I Get Compensated for This?

Many individuals have been compensated for their shoulder injury that resulted after a vaccine. However, STRICT TIME LIMITS APPLY to file a claim. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that is set up to compensate people who have been injured by certain vaccines. Compensation can be SUBSTANTIAL. The VICP is designed so injured individuals do not have to pay for legal representation. It is important to note that your medical provider will not be liable.

Settlement amounts vary on many factors, however, an average non-surgical shoulder injury cases can range from $40,000-$90,000 and shoulder injury cases that have resulted in the need for surgery are even higher.
