Kiley Lizama v. HHS - Tdap, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Kiley Lizama filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) resulting from her Tdap vaccination on April 23, 2016. She claimed the injury occurred in the United States and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other condition, and also denied that it was a SIRVA Table injury. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Kiley Lizama a lump sum of $30,000.00 for all items of damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.

The stipulation also noted that the parties would submit to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
