Sule Soysal v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2019)

Sule Soysal filed a petition for compensation on April 26, 2018, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 27, 2017. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged injury or that the petitioner's condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on August 30, 2019, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey adopted the stipulation, awarding Sule Soysal $80,000.00 in compensation for all damages.

This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages. The case was processed as a Table claim.

Petitioner was represented by Jimmy A. Zgheib of Zgheib Sayad, P.C., and respondent was represented by Debra A.

Filteau Begley of the U.S. Department of Justice.

The decision was issued on August 30, 2019.
