Judith Tucker v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), bursitis, left shoulder impingement syndrome, left rotator cuff tendonitis, left-sided disorders of the bursa and tendons (2019)

Judith Tucker filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on October 30, 2014. She claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that she had not received any prior award or settlement for her condition.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA, bursitis, left shoulder impingement syndrome, left rotator cuff tendonitis, or other related left-sided disorders. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages, which the court found reasonable.

The court awarded Judith Tucker $12,000.00 as a lump sum, representing compensation for all eligible damages. The decision directed the clerk to enter judgment in accordance with the stipulation.
