SIRVA, or Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration, occurs when a vaccine is mistakenly injected into the shoulder instead of the deltoid muscle, causing extended shoulder pain and restricted shoulder mobility. SIRVA usually results from a vaccine injected too high up the arm or too deeply, potentially impacting nerves or entering the shoulder capsule or bursa, leading to severe shoulder pain and inflammation.
If you or someone you love has been injured by a vaccine, there’s help available. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a government program designed to assist those hurt by vaccines, offering compensation up to $250,000.
