Martha A. Boudreau v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Martha A. Boudreau filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on August 3, 2017, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on September 8, 2015.

The respondent conceded that her left shoulder injury was consistent with SIRVA, a Table injury, as she had no recent history of shoulder pain, the onset of pain occurred within forty-eight hours after the vaccination, the pain was limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained the pain. The respondent further agreed that she suffered residual effects for more than six months and met all legal prerequisites for compensation.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 7, 2018, finding her entitled to compensation. On September 5, 2018, a decision awarding damages was issued, granting Martha A.

Boudreau a lump sum payment of $118,552.00.
