Juney Stokley v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Juney Stokley filed a petition on December 13, 2018, alleging that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of her influenza vaccination on November 16, 2017. She claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, that her injury caused residual effects for more than six months, and that she had not received any prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injuries or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on December 14, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages. Juney Stokley was awarded a lump sum of $15,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.
