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

Terri Davis filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following her influenza vaccination on October 20, 2014. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent conceded that Ms. Davis's injury was consistent with SIRVA and was caused-in-fact by the vaccination.

Respondent also agreed that no other cause was identified and that Ms. Davis met all legal prerequisites for compensation.

Consequently, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding Ms. Davis entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, the parties filed a proffer on award of compensation. Based on this proffer, Chief Special Master Dorsey awarded Terri Davis a lump sum payment of $137,986.93, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was entered on June 2, 2016.
