Patricia Barlogio v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Patricia Barlogio filed a petition for compensation on August 29, 2018, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine she received on October 5, 2015. She claimed the injury had residual effects for more than six months and that there had been no prior award or settlement for her condition.

Respondent denied that Ms. Barlogio sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on May 25, 2022, agreeing to settle the case. The stipulation stated that Ms.

Barlogio received the flu vaccine in the United States and that the injury was alleged to be a Table injury or, in the alternative, caused in fact by the vaccination. The Chief Special Master adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms.

Barlogio $90,000.00 in compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was issued on June 30, 2022.
