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

Kerri Hall filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) caused by an influenza vaccination she received on December 1, 2014. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Hall was entitled to compensation for her SIRVA, stating that her injury was consistent with SIRVA and caused by the flu vaccine.

Based on this concession and the evidence, the court issued a ruling on entitlement finding Ms. Hall entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, the parties filed a proffer on award of compensation, with respondent recommending an award of $112,500.00, which Ms. Hall agreed to.

The court awarded Ms. Hall a lump sum payment of $112,500.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the Act.
