Yvette Hill v. HHS - Influenza, median mononeuropathy and tendinopathy/tendinitis of the right shoulder (2016)

Yvette Hill filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 29, 2016, alleging that she suffered median mononeuropathy and tendinopathy/tendinitis of her right shoulder due to an influenza vaccine she received on September 25, 2014. She stated that she received the vaccination in the United States, that her injury had effects lasting more than six months, and that she had not received prior compensation.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged injuries. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 29, 2016, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Yvette Hill was awarded a lump sum of $75,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

This decision was based on the joint stipulation of the parties.
