Christy L. Harrup v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2019)

Christy L. Harrup filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 27, 2017.

She claimed the injury occurred within the time period set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months. Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her condition.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Christy L.

Harrup a lump sum of $135,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all damages, including pain and suffering, lost earnings, and past unreimbursable expenses.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the parties agreed to settle the issues of liability and damages.
