Gloria Harman v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2019)

Gloria Harman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 26, 2017. She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on November 11, 2015.

Ms. Harman stated that the vaccination was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for this condition.

The respondent denied that the flu immunization caused her alleged injury. On March 27, 2019, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. Ms.

Harman was awarded a lump sum of $77,500.00 in compensation for all items of damages. Petitioner counsel was Ronald Craig Homer of Conway, Homer, P.C., and respondent counsel was Camille Michelle Collett of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
