Jeanette Eiland v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Jeanette Eiland filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 11, 2017, alleging that an influenza vaccination she received on October 30, 2014, resulted in a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). She stated the vaccine was administered in the United States and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, with no prior award or settlement for her condition.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccination caused petitioner’s alleged SIRVA or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 8, 2017, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision. Jeanette Eiland was awarded a lump sum of $60,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with the decision and stipulation.
