Glenda Russell v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury (2020)

Glenda Russell filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a right shoulder injury as a result of her October 25, 2016 influenza and Tdap vaccinations. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On March 29, 2019, the respondent conceded that Ms. Russell's claim met the Table criteria for Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and agreed that she was entitled to a presumption of causation.

Based on this concession and the evidence, the court issued a ruling on entitlement. Subsequently, on February 18, 2020, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $52,793.44.

This amount included $52,500.00 for past and future pain and suffering and $293.44 to satisfy a Medicaid lien. Ms.

Russell agreed with this proffered award. The court accepted the proffer and issued a decision awarding Ms.

Russell $52,793.44 in total compensation.
