Holly Ann Randall v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Holly Ann Randall filed a petition for compensation alleging that the influenza vaccine she received on October 19, 2016, caused her to suffer from a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). She further alleged that she experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Randall's SIRVA or any other injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the court.

Ms. Randall was awarded a lump sum payment of $128,500.00, which represented compensation for all damages including pain and suffering, lost wages, and past unreimbursed expenses.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, as SIRVA is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The court directed that judgment be entered according to this decision and the stipulation.
