“I worried
it was a scam.”

— Bonnie M., Vaccine Injury Client

What Is SIRVA?

SIRVA stands for Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration. It is believed to be caused by improper administration of an intramuscular, deltoid-region vaccination; although, some SIRVA have occurred despite proper vaccine administration technique being used.

Improper vaccine injection site
Proper vaccine injection site

When a vaccine is injected too high in the shoulder, at the wrong angle, or too deep, it can damage the shoulder's bursa, tendons, ligaments, or bone. This can result in inflamation, pain, limited mobility, and even a frozen shoulder.

In 1988, the federal government created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to provide compensation for individuals who suffer vaccine injuries caused by most vaccines administered in the United States. You do not sue the vaccine administrator or manufacturer. Rather, you seek compensation from an over $4 billion dollar fund administered by the federal government solely for the purpose of compensating vaccine-injured individuals.

Federal Compensation May Be Available

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has awarded hundreds of millions of dollars to people who suffered vaccine injuries.

Common Questions

SIRVA (Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration) is thought to occur when an intramuscular vaccination is improperly injected into the shoulder causing damage to musculoskeletal structures within the shoulder including the bursa, tendons, ligaments, or bone.
You may be eligible for compensation if you received a covered vaccine and experienced shoulder pain or limited range of motion within 48 hours of the vaccination and the symptoms lasted longer than 6 months.
Covered vaccines include the influenza, tetanus (TD, Tdap), pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar), hepatitis B, and others. Please note – Covid and Shingrix (shingles) vaccines are NOT covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
No. This is a lawsuit filed within the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which is a federal program created for the specific purpose of compensating individuals injured by vaccines. You do not sue the vaccine administrator or the manufacturer – the lawsuit is filed against the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
No. You do not have to have an attorney to file a vaccine injury claim. However, the federal government is represented by experienced lawyers from the United States Department of Justice who zealously defend these cases. Thus, it is strongly recommended to hire an attorney with substantial experience working within the program.
With Howie Law, PC, there are no upfront costs or legal fees. Howie Law, PC advances 100% of the time and 100% of the cost associated with your claim.
