Sheryl Strom v. HHS - Influenza, adhesive capsulitis of the left shoulder, complex regional pain syndrome type 1, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis tendinosis, and subacromial subdeltoid bursitis (2018)

Sheryl Strom filed a petition alleging that the influenza vaccine she received on October 17, 2014, caused her to develop multiple left shoulder injuries, including adhesive capsulitis, complex regional pain syndrome type 1, tendinosis, and bursitis. She claimed these injuries had their onset on or about the date of vaccination and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Strom's injuries or any other injury.

Despite this denial, the parties reached a settlement agreement to resolve the case. The court adopted the stipulation and awarded Ms.

Strom a lump sum payment of $100,000.00. This award compensates for all elements of damage available under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

The decision was issued on August 2, 2018, and judgment was to be entered unless a motion for review was filed.
