Raymonde L. Forjette v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury (2019)

Raymonde L. Forjette filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 3, 2017, alleging that an influenza vaccination received on October 15, 2015, caused her to suffer a right shoulder injury.

The respondent conceded that petitioner's injury was consistent with shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and that she met all legal prerequisites for compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on October 17, 2018, finding her entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on March 19, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on award of damages, recommending a total award of $101,626.30. This amount included $95,000 for pain and suffering and $6,626.30 for past unreimbursable expenses.

Petitioner agreed with the proffered award. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding the full proffered amount of $101,626.30 as a lump sum payment to Raymonde L.

Forjette on May 29, 2019. The case was treated as a Table claim, and entitlement was conceded by the respondent.
