Diana Hagerman v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2016)

Diana Hagerman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that an influenza vaccine she received on November 4, 2014, caused injuries to her right shoulder. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Hagerman's injury was consistent with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and was caused in fact by the flu vaccine.

Respondent agreed that she met the statutory requirements for entitlement. Subsequently, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding her entitled to compensation.

The parties then filed a proffer on award of compensation, agreeing to a lump sum payment of $130,000.00. Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a decision awarding Ms.

Hagerman $130,000.00, representing compensation for all available damages.
