Jamie Mohr v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2017)

Jamie Mohr filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 14, 2016, alleging that she received an influenza vaccine on December 27, 2015, and subsequently developed a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On December 19, 2016, the respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Mohr was entitled to compensation, agreeing that the alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA and caused by the flu vaccination, and that she had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation.

Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a ruling on entitlement on December 20, 2016, finding Ms. Mohr entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on February 28, 2017, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $90,902.04, which the petitioner agreed to. Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a decision on March 2, 2017, awarding Ms.

Mohr a lump sum payment of $90,902.04, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. Michael McLaren of Black McLaren, et al., PC represented the petitioner, and Debra Begley of the U.S.

Department of Justice represented the respondent. The decision was originally filed on March 2, 2017, and modified on June 19, 2017, to correct docket text.
