Staci Broadway v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Staci Broadway filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 30, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 31, 2017. She further alleged her injury lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that her current disabilities were sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on November 30, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages. Pursuant to the stipulation, Staci Broadway was awarded a lump sum of $101,843.62 for all items of damages available under Section 15(a).
