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

Toni Boom filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that an influenza vaccination received on November 13, 2013, caused her to suffer a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer on Damages, conceding that Ms. Boom is entitled to compensation.

The respondent concluded that Ms. Boom's injury was consistent with SIRVA and was caused in fact by the flu vaccine, and that she met the statutory requirements for entitlement.

Based on the evidence of record, the respondent proffered an award of $75,440.00, with which Ms. Boom agreed.

The Chief Special Master found that Ms. Boom is entitled to compensation and awarded her a lump sum payment of $75,440.00, representing compensation for all available damages.
