The blog lets people know about a new study, December 2022, that explores the current data on SIRVA. It is an excellent article for calling attention to SIRVA and its impact. It can be found online at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667276622000828?preview=true&site_id=2121

I just posted a new blog at VaccineInjuryPros.com

The blog lets people know that some recent decisions in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program have found that individuals suffering from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS, following the Prevnar 13 shot are entitled to compensation. The cases were all decided in 2022.

Prevnar 13 is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and was approved for use in 2010. It is recommended for children less than 5, for adults 65 or older, and others with certain conditions.

In a recent post on a public group on Facebook, two posters showed pictures of the placement of their shots. They were well above the deltoid muscle, close to the shoulder joint. They were clearly "too high." This positioning of the needle for a vaccination is believed to be a significant cause for SIRVA. Other contributing causes include using the wrong size needle, and incorrect injection technique.

However, even if all of the proper procedures are followed, a person can experience a painful shoulder injury caused by the vaccine. This is why SIRVA is recognized by the VICP as a Table injury for compensation.

I recently came across a posting on a public group on Facebook, sharing an experience with terrible shoulder pain after the flu shot. The person said, “I swear my family thinks I am crazy but I’m in severe pain.” Not only is the poster NOT crazy, the condition is very real.

The Department of Health and Human Services recognizes SIRVA, which stands for Shoulder Injury Resulting from Vaccine Administration. At the CDC's 2019 Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference, presenters discussed a study showing a quantifiable association between shoulder injury, including deltoid bursitis, and the flu shot. SIRVA is a covered injury under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. It can result from shots for any of the vaccines that are covered by the Program, not just the flu shot.

HAVE YOU SUFFERED A SIRVA INJURY?

Our experienced legal team at Vaccine Injury Pros, vaccineinjurypros.com, helps those who have suffered a particular kind of vaccine injury called “SIRVA.” This stands for shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Just as it sounds, it is an injury that follows the injection of the needle into the shoulder during a vaccination. It results in sudden and ongoing pain, limited range of motion, and often damage to the shoulder structures. Sometimes the condition requires surgery to repair the damage and alleviate the pain.

Commonly, a person with a SIRVA injury will have little or no history of shoulder problems, and experience the onset of pain, dysfunction, or discomfort immediately or within a very short time after the injection. It is believed that most SIRVA injuries are caused by the improper insertion or placement of the needle into shoulder area, and some may result from an immune reaction with the vaccine, causing a neurological injury.

HOW A VACCINE INJURY CLAIM WORKS

A claim for a vaccine injury, including SIRVA, is made by filing a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. It is in every way a lawsuit against the vast resources of the federal government. Specifically, the defendant, or “respondent” in the lawsuit is the Department of Health and Human Services, which makes the initial decision whether to allow your claim, and most often initially denies the claim.
This requires you to then prove your claim with evidence which is extremely complex and technical, involving medical, scientific, and biological expertise. It is not enough to show that you received a vaccination, followed by an adverse reaction, and that there is no other explanation for your condition.

AN ATTORNEY IS ESSENTIAL DURING LITIGATION
In the litigation, where you are trying to prove the vaccine caused your injury, illness, or condition, the lawyers for the respondent are employees of the federal government's Department of Justice.
Those lawyers specialize in contesting Vaccine Injury claims, and have available to them experts who will dispute the existence of a link between the vaccine and your injury. Even when they do agree to allow the claim, they will often contest the amount of compensation.

VACCINE INJURY CLAIMS REQUIRE SPECIALIZED ATTORNEYS
Most lawyers who handle personal injury litigation on a contingency fee—like car accidents, slip and falls, and workplace injuries—are not involved in these claims. Some may not even know of the existence of the Program, and are usually not admitted to the Court of Federal Claims.

The attorneys at Vaccine Injury Pros, vaccineinjurypros.com, understand these claims are specialized and difficult litigation, requiring knowledge and experience unique to representing persons suffering from adverse reactions to a vaccine. We understand the process involved in obtaining the amount of compensation awarded when a claim is allowed.

MOORE CORBETT LAW FIRM RE-LAUNCHES VACCINE INJURY PROS WEBSITE

Moore, Corbett, Heffernan, Moeller & Meis, L.L.P is pleased to announce that it is re-launching its website directed at persons suffering from a Vaccine Injury and seeking representation in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Vaccine Injury Pros, at vaccineinjurypros.com, now has a new, updated and easier-to-use look, to help people who experience adverse reactions after receiving a vaccine.

The VICP is a federal program which compensates persons who experience a Vaccine Injury, which occurs when a child or adult suffers a reaction lasting at least six months or resulting in death from covered vaccines. The vaccines include many of the most common vaccines administered, including the normal childhood vaccines and the seasonal flu shot.

Claims for compensation to the VICP are made to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims located in Washington, D.C., by filing a petition. An attorney representing a petitioner must be admitted to practice in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

Partner Richard Moeller, who has been representing clients in the Program since 1998, is excited about the firm’s new look. “So few people are aware that the Program even exists. It’s not until they search the internet that they learn there is somewhere they can go if they suffer a rare reaction to an immunization.” Added partner Nikki Nobbe, “This is how Vaccine Injury Pros gives people a place to learn about the Program and what we can do for them.”
