Inez Bush v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury (2018)

Inez Bush filed a petition on December 27, 2016, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that she developed a shoulder injury as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on October 20, 2014, and that she experienced residual effects from this condition for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's shoulder injury or any other injury. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on December 21, 2018.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the court.

The stipulation awarded Inez Bush a lump sum of $55,000.00, payable to her, as compensation for all damages. The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.

Petitioner was represented by Amy A. Senerth of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Gabrielle M.

Fielding of the U.S. Department of Justice.
