Vickie Ray v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Vickie Ray filed a petition for compensation on September 21, 2018, alleging that an influenza vaccine received on or around September 23, 2015, or October 20, 2016, caused her to suffer from a shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA). She further alleged that the residual effects of this injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Ray's injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing to compensation. Special Master Christian J.

Moran adopted the stipulation as the decision of the Court. Ms.

Ray was awarded a lump sum payment of $19,500.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the program. This case was processed as a Table claim, and entitlement was stipulated.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses. David G.

Rogers represented the petitioner, and Lynn C. Schlie represented the respondent.
