Elizabeth Evans v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Elizabeth Evans filed a petition on July 1, 2017, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Petitioner alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 9, 2015.

The respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a Table SIRVA injury or that the influenza vaccine caused her injury. Despite these positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on June 24, 2020.

Special Master Katherine E. Oler reviewed the file and found the stipulation to be reasonable, adopting it as the court's decision.

The stipulation awarded Elizabeth Evans a lump sum of $38,500.00 as compensation for all available damages. The court approved this award and directed the Clerk to enter judgment.
