Arlene McFeely v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (2017)

Arlene McFeely filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 12, 2015, alleging that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccination on September 7, 2014. The respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused petitioner's alleged SIRVA.

Nevertheless, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 13, 2017, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Arlene McFeely was awarded a lump sum of $122,500.00 in compensation for all items of damages. The decision was issued by Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey.
