Sophie Rose v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury (2017)

Sophie Rose filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury as a result of an influenza vaccination administered on October 17, 2013. The respondent conceded that petitioner suffered a non-Table injury of SIRVA, which was causally related to the flu vaccination.

The respondent also confirmed that no other causes were identified for the SIRVA and that the petitioner met the statutory requirements for compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on August 15, 2016, finding Sophie Rose entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on January 6, 2017, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $115,000.00. Petitioner agreed with this proffered award.

The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Sophie Rose a lump sum payment of $115,000.00 for all damages.
