[h=1]Victims Of Shoulder Injuries From Flu Shot Eligible For Cash Compensation[/h] March 18, 2015 11:00 PM
Lisa Sigell LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) ? Raul DeJesus has nerve damage in his arm.
The pain is so debilitating that he needs several powerful medications.

Both Raul and Debbie suffered serious shoulder damage, not from an injury or something they did, but from flu shots.
Infectious disease specialist Robert Duncan says while these injuries aren?t common, they can happen, usually because the shot is given too high in the arm.
?It can really be quite a significant problem,? said Duncan....
