Angela M. Andricks v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Angela M. Andricks filed a petition for compensation on September 18, 2017, alleging that the influenza vaccine she received on September 21, 2016, caused her to suffer from a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, commonly known as SIRVA.

She further alleged that the residual effects of this injury lasted for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms.

Andricks' SIRVA or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties reached a joint stipulation to resolve the case.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Under the terms of the stipulation, Ms.

Andricks was awarded a lump sum payment of $15,000.00 for damages and an additional $598.42 to satisfy a lien from the Ohio Department of Medicaid. This award represents full compensation for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The case was resolved via stipulation, and judgment was entered accordingly.
