Elizabeth Turner v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury (2022)

On May 23, 2017, Elizabeth Turner filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging a shoulder injury after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 1, 2015. The respondent denied that the immunization caused the alleged injury.

The parties, however, reached a settlement agreement. The joint stipulation, filed on February 4, 2022, outlined the settlement terms.

Respondent agreed to a lump sum payment of $25,000.00, payable by check to Elizabeth Turner, as compensation for all damages available under the program. Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded compensation in the agreed-upon amount and terms.

The decision directed the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment accordingly. Petitioner was represented by Amy Senerth, Esq., and respondent was represented by Andrew Henning, Esq.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, treatments, or expert testimony.
