Allison Holland v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2016)

Allison Holland filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on July 17, 2015, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a quadrivalent influenza vaccination received on October 1, 2014. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On October 16, 2015, respondent conceded that the evidence established that petitioner's left shoulder injury was caused by the flu vaccine and that the injury was not due to unrelated factors, satisfying the statutory sequela requirement. Based on this concession, the Chief Special Master ruled in favor of petitioner's entitlement to compensation.

Subsequently, on November 4, 2015, respondent filed a proffer for an award of compensation in the amount of $74,046.40, which petitioner agreed to. The decision on damages awarded this lump sum payment.

Later, on November 9, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for attorney fees and costs, agreeing to an award of $2,669.60. The final decision on attorney fees and costs awarded this amount, jointly payable to petitioner and her counsel.

The total compensation awarded was $76,716.
