Ninnart Changkiendee v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Ninnart Changkiendee, an adult, filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 16, 2020, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). She received a Tdap vaccine on October 26, 2017, along with Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines (Twinrix).

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, that the onset occurred within 48 hours, or that the injury persisted for more than six months. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 13, 2020, agreeing to an award of compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Ninnart Changkiendee was awarded a lump sum of $52,500.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the program.

This amount is intended to cover all damages related to her SIRVA injury.
