She alleged that she suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), including hypertrophic tendinosis of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis tendons, as a consequence of an influenza vaccination she received on September 17, 2014. Ms. Johns further alleged that she suffered the residual effects of this injury for more than six months and that the vaccine was administered in the United States. She also represented that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages on her behalf as a result of her condition. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms. Johns sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged right shoulder injuries or any other injury, and further denied that her current disabilities were a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on August 2, 2019, agreeing to settle the issues between them. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Ms. Johns was awarded a lump sum of $35,000.00, payable to her, as compensation for all elements of damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). The decision was issued on October 31, 2019. Petitioner was represented by Jessica Anne Olins of Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA, and respondent was represented by Glenn Alexander MacLeod of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or the medical experts consulted by either party.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"Agnes Johns","petitioner_attorney_name":"Jessica Anne Olins","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA","petitioner_attorney_location":"Sarasota, FL","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":"2026-05-05 23:45:23","attorney_canonical_keys":"|jessica-olins|","firm_canonical_key":"maglio-christopher-and-toale","package_title":"JOHNS v.
