Sharon Gregory v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injuries (2020)

Sharon Gregory filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 26, 2018, alleging she suffered right shoulder injuries resulting from an influenza vaccination administered on December 22, 2016. She also received a flu vaccine on November 14, 2016.

Petitioner alleged that the vaccinations were administered in the United States, that she experienced residual symptoms for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for her condition. Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or current condition.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on June 3, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Sharon Gregory a lump sum of $70,000.00 for all items of damages.
