What SIRVA Looks Like After a Flu Shot
Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) often shows up as sharp shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and weakness that starts within 48 hours after the shot. Many clients describe burning pain, trouble lifting a bag, or waking at night when rolling on the injected arm. It’s not the vaccine itself—it’s the technique and placement of the injection in the deltoid. A mis-placed needle can inflame the bursa, tendons, or joint capsule. If this sounds familiar after a flu shot, your symptoms fit the pattern we see across the United States.
How We Secured $115,000 for a Flu Shot SIRVA Client
In a recent Flu SIRVA case, our client reported immediate pain, saw primary care within days, and had imaging that showed inflammation consistent with SIRVA. We assembled medical records, lined up expert opinions, and filed in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The case resolved for $115,000. Results vary, but this outcome shows what strong documentation, prompt filing, and focused advocacy can achieve. Our team tracks the timeline, negotiates settlement, and keeps you informed—start to finish.

We practice in all 50 states and handle vaccine cases only. That focus matters. VICP filings require precise medical timelines, expert backing, and familiarity with prior decisions.

No Legal Fees Ever Paid By You
You don’t pay our fees or case costs. The VICP pays attorney fees and costs separately, not out of your award. That includes fees for medical records, filing, and experts. We front those expenses. When your case ends, we apply to the Vaccine Court for our fees and costs—not to you. This structure makes quality representation accessible to everyone, no matter your budget or injury severity.
Common Flu Shot SIRVA Symptoms We See
- Sudden shoulder pain within 48 hours
- Limited range of motion or stiffness
- Weakness or “dead arm” feeling
- Night pain that disrupts sleep
- Tenderness at the top of the shoulder
- Pain with overhead movement, dressing, or lifting
- Possible bursitis, tendonitis, or adhesive capsulitis on imaging
When these symptoms start soon after vaccination and persist, they raise a strong SIRVA signal. Early diagnosis helps your treatment and your VICP claim.
Medical Care That Helps You and Your Claim
Prompt medical visits anchor your timeline. We typically see a path like this:
- Primary care evaluation within days
- Orthopedic or sports medicine follow-up
- Imaging (ultrasound or MRI)
- Physical therapy for range of motion
- Corticosteroid injections if needed
- Pain management for stubborn cases
- Occasionally arthroscopic surgery for frozen shoulder or tendon tears
Keep a simple symptom diary. Note dates, pain levels, sleep impact, and work limits. These details strengthen your case.
What the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Covers
The VICP is a federal program that pays compensation for vaccine injuries, including SIRVA after flu shots. It can cover:
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Out-of-pocket costs tied to your injury
The VICP doesn’t sue a local doctor, pharmacy, or manufacturer. Claims go to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. That’s our home court.

Your Questions About Flu Shot SIRVA Compensation Answered
What is SIRVA and how does a flu shot cause it?
SIRVA is a shoulder injury caused by a vaccine injection given too high or too deep in the shoulder, leading to inflammation of the bursa, tendons, or joint capsule. It typically presents within 48 hours with pain and reduced range of motion. It’s not usually a reaction to the vaccine contents; it’s related to injection placement. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program recognizes SIRVA as a covered injury when the medical timeline and symptoms fit the criteria.
SIRVA can include bursitis, tendonitis, or frozen shoulder. Imaging and exams support the diagnosis. Prompt medical care and documented symptoms strengthen your claim.
How do I know if my case qualifies for the VICP?
If your shoulder pain started within 48 hours of your flu shot, you had limited motion or function, and your records reflect these findings, you likely meet the basic SIRVA criteria for a VICP claim. Prior shoulder issues don’t automatically disqualify you, but clear pre- and post-shot records help separate old problems from new injury.
We review your timeline, treatment, and imaging. If anything’s missing, we help obtain it. We then file and manage your claim in the Vaccine Court.
What compensation can flu shot SIRVA victims receive?
VICP compensation can cover pain and suffering, medical costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and wage loss linked to the injury. Each case is fact-specific, and awards vary based on severity, treatment length, and impact on daily life and work. Our recent $115,000 flu shot SIRVA result shows what strong documentation can support.
We gather evidence that reflects your real-world losses. We aim to secure full and fair compensation for your situation.
Do I have to pay legal fees or costs?
No. You don’t pay any legal fees or case costs. The VICP pays our firm’s fees and costs directly, not from your award. We front the expenses for records, filing, and experts. At the end, we seek payment from the Vaccine Court, not from you.
This model lets you pursue your claim without financial risk.
How long does a SIRVA case take?
Many SIRVA cases resolve within several months to a year or more, depending on medical complexity and the court’s schedule. Cases with complete records and consistent care often move faster. We keep your case moving, while you focus on recovery.
We push for timely resolutions while preparing for hearings if needed.
What evidence helps most in SIRVA cases?
Early medical visits, clear onset within 48 hours, consistent treatment notes, imaging that matches SIRVA, therapy records, and work impact documentation are key. A simple symptom diary also helps connect the dots for the court.
Photos of limited movement or sling use can add context. We organize all evidence into a clear, persuasive package.
Can I file if I got the shot at a pharmacy?
Yes. VICP claims cover flu shots given at pharmacies, clinics, workplaces, and doctor’s offices. The location doesn’t limit your rights. What matters is your medical timeline and documentation.
We’ve handled many pharmacy-administered flu shot SIRVA cases nationwide.
What if I waited to see a doctor?
Delayed care can be overcome if you document symptoms and link them to the flu shot, but earlier visits strengthen your case. We’ll evaluate your records and advise you on the best next steps to support causation.
If you haven’t seen a specialist, we can suggest the type of provider to consider.
Will you travel to meet me?
Yes. We travel anywhere in the United States to meet you at home or in the hospital. We handle every part of your claim remotely and in person, as needed.
You’ll never feel alone in this process.

Real-World SIRVA Snapshot: Symptoms, Care, and Outcomes
Think of SIRVA like a pebble in a hinge. The joint still works, but every movement grinds. With the right care plan and a focused legal team, that hinge can move freely again, and you can be paid for the trouble the injury caused. Here’s what we see across cases and how the VICP process lines up.
Typical SIRVA Timeline After a Flu Shot
- 0–48 hours: Pain, limited motion start
- 1–2 weeks: Primary care, referral ordered
- 2–6 weeks: Imaging, therapy begins
- 1–3 months: Steroid injections if needed
- 3–9 months: Steady improvement; some develop frozen shoulder
- 6–18 months: Max recovery; surgery only in stubborn cases
Evidence That Moves the Needle
- Clear onset window
- Consistent treatment notes
- Objective imaging findings
- Work restrictions or duty changes
- Physical therapy compliance and progress
Statistics, Facts, and What They Mean
- Flu vaccine doses in the U.S. number in the tens of millions each season, so even rare events like SIRVA appear in significant numbers.
- Published studies report SIRVA more often in women and in middle age, likely due to injection site anatomy and technique.
- VICP annual reports show thousands of petitions filed each year across all covered vaccines, including influenza.
- Most VICP cases resolve through settlement rather than a full trial, which can shorten resolution time.
These figures guide our approach: document early, file promptly, and present a clear medical story.
