Lisa Anthony v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Lisa Anthony filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 27, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on November 17, 2016. She claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, she suffered residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement for her condition.

Respondent denied that Ms. Anthony sustained a SIRVA Table injury or any other injury.

Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on March 25, 2020, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages.

Ms. Anthony was awarded a lump sum of $35,752.14, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision directs the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with the stipulation, unless a motion for review is filed.
