Patricia M. White v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), or in the alternative, brachial neuritis (2017)

Patricia M. White filed a petition on August 21, 2015, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), or in the alternative, brachial neuritis, as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on September 27, 2014. Petitioner further alleged that she experienced residual effects of this injury for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccination caused Petitioner's alleged injuries. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation, filed on February 16, 2017.

The stipulation stated that the issues could be resolved and that Patricia M. White should be awarded compensation.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the file and adopted the stipulation as the decision.

The stipulation awarded Patricia M. White a lump sum of $93,000.00, payable by check, as compensation for all damages.

The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
