Bailey McCammon v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Bailey McCammon filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on October 5, 2015. The petition stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that the residual effects of the condition lasted more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for this condition.

Respondent denied that Ms. McCammon sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on December 30, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision.

Ms. McCammon was awarded a total of $60,883.22, consisting of $2,883.22 to satisfy a lien for services rendered and $58,000.00 for all remaining items of damages.

The decision was entered on February 23, 2021.
