Angelina Grujic v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury (2019)

Angelina Grujic filed a petition for vaccine compensation on November 30, 2016, alleging she received an influenza vaccine on October 25, 2014, and subsequently suffered a left shoulder injury. She claimed residual effects from this injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused any other injuries, specifically mentioning CRPS or brachial neuritis. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on June 4, 2019, agreeing to a settlement.

The court reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Angelina Grujic was awarded a lump sum of $114,656.15.

This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The case proceeded as a Table claim, as the influenza vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

The decision was issued on August 29, 2019.
