Marsha Crawford v. HHS - Pneumococcal, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2016)

Marsha Crawford filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 4, 2016, alleging that she developed a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar 13) vaccine on April 16, 2015. The respondent conceded that petitioner's injury was consistent with SIRVA and was not due to factors unrelated to the vaccination.

The respondent also confirmed that petitioner met all statutory and jurisdictional requirements, including the condition persisting for more than six months. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court ruled on entitlement on June 30, 2016, finding Marsha Crawford entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on September 9, 2016, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, proposing an award of $70,000.00, which petitioner agreed to. The court issued a decision awarding Marsha Crawford a lump sum payment of $70,000.00 on November 4, 2016.
