Regina Stenberg v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Regina Stenberg filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) caused by an influenza vaccination she received on September 15, 2016. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, conceded that Ms.

Stenberg was entitled to compensation. The respondent believed her alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA, as defined on the Vaccine Injury Table, and that she had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on June 27, 2018, finding Ms. Stenberg entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on October 10, 2018, a decision awarding damages was issued based on a proffer from the respondent. The parties stipulated to an award of $58,250.43, which represents compensation for all damages available under the Act.

This amount was to be paid as a lump sum check to Regina Stenberg.
