Willie Anderson v. HHS - Pneumococcal, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Willie Anderson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered on July 25, 2017. She further alleged that she suffered the residual effects of this injury for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or any other injury or condition. Nevertheless, on June 16, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Willie Anderson was awarded a total of $114,329.26 in compensation.

This amount included $4,329.26 to reimburse a lien for vaccine-related services and $110,000.00 payable to Petitioner. These amounts represent compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The court directed that judgment be entered in accordance with this decision.
