Brenda Benjamin v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccination (SIRVA) (2016)

Brenda Benjamin filed a petition on March 17, 2016, alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 3, 2014, caused her to develop a shoulder injury related to vaccination (SIRVA). Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's SIRVA or any other injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation for damages, which Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth found to be reasonable and adopted as the court's decision. Under the stipulation, Brenda Benjamin was awarded a lump sum of $75,000.00, payable by check, as compensation for all damages.

The court ordered that judgment be entered in accordance with the terms of the stipulation. Maximillian J.
