Willie D. Webb v. HHS - Td, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Willie D. Webb filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of her Tetanus Diphtheria (Td) vaccine received on July 6, 2016.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, reviewed the petition and medical records. In a Rule 4(c) report filed on August 16, 2017, the respondent conceded that petitioner was entitled to compensation, finding that the evidence established her shoulder injury was caused by the Td vaccine and not unrelated factors.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on August 16, 2017, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on January 10, 2018, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $87,821.65.

Petitioner agreed with this proffered amount. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Willie D.

Webb a lump sum payment of $87,821.65 on April 27, 2018, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
