Lori Carre v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Lori Carre filed a petition on January 8, 2018, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that she received an influenza vaccine on October 5, 2015, and subsequently suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), with residual effects lasting more than six months.

However, both parties agreed to settle the case. The Special Master reviewed the file and adopted the parties' stipulation as its decision.

The stipulation awarded Ms. Carre a lump sum of $53,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The decision was entered on September 24, 2020. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.

Petitioner was represented by Isaiah Kalinowski of Maglio Christopher and Toale, P.A., and Respondent was represented by Emilie Williams of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Special Master Katherine E. Oler issued the decision.
