Donna Parker v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Donna Parker filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 9, 2017, alleging she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccination received on November 23, 2015. She further alleged that she experienced the residual effects of her injury for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused petitioner's alleged SIRVA or any other injury. On October 26, 2018, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Donna Parker was awarded a lump sum of $20,000.00, payable to her, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was made public in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002.
