What SIRVA From a Flu Shot Means For You
Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) happens when a vaccine is injected too high or too deep into the shoulder, irritating the bursa, tendons, or joint. It’s not about the vaccine ingredients. It’s an injection placement injury. Symptoms often include sharp shoulder pain, limited range of motion, stiffness, and weakness within 48 hours of a shot. For many, pain lingers for months and disrupts work, sleep, and daily life. Our clients describe it like a stubborn door hinge that won’t swing, even with oil and effort.
Our $110,191 Flu Shot SIRVA Result: What It Signals
This result shows the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) pays for real losses when the evidence supports the claim. It reflects documented pain, medical care, and impact on daily living. It also shows how fast action, quality medical records, and focused legal work can lead to a fair award. While every case is unique, strong proofs win. We build those proofs meticulously, step by step.
Why Choose Zgheib Sayad, P.C. for Flu Shot SIRVA Claims
We focus solely on vaccine injuries nationwide. Our attorneys are licensed to practice before the United States Court of Federal Claims (the “Vaccine Court”), so we can represent clients in all 50 states.

No Legal Fees From Your Award
You don’t pay our legal fees or case costs. VICP pays attorneys’ fees and costs separately. We front expenses like expert reviews, medical records, and filing fees.

SIRVA Symptoms After a Flu Shot
SIRVA symptoms usually start within 48 hours:
- Persistent shoulder pain
- Limited range of motion
- Stiffness and weakness
- Sleep disturbance from shoulder pain
- Pain with overhead reaching, dressing, or lifting
If you’re seeing these signs after a flu shot, report them to a clinician promptly. Early, consistent documentation is vital for both your recovery and your claim.
Medical Proof That Supports Your SIRVA Case
Winning cases rely on crisp medical evidence:
- Early onset recorded in notes (often within 0–48 hours)
- Physical exam findings (limited abduction, positive impingement tests)
- Imaging when indicated (MRI showing bursitis, tendinopathy, or adhesive capsulitis)
- Treatment records (NSAIDs, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections)
- Consistency in your history across providers We help your doctors frame notes clearly and gather the exact records the court expects.
How VICP Works For Flu Shot SIRVA
VICP is a no-fault federal program that compensates people injured by covered vaccines, including the seasonal flu shot. You don’t sue your doctor or the manufacturer. You file a petition in the Vaccine Court. The government’s lawyers review the case. Settlements and awards pay for pain and suffering, unreimbursed medical costs, and lost wages when applicable. This process is unique and technical. That’s why specialized counsel matters.
