Anne Marie Wilford-Graham v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Anne Marie Wilford-Graham filed a petition on July 29, 2020, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on January 19, 2017.

Petitioner stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that the injury's residual effects lasted for more than six months, and that she had not received any prior award or settlement for this condition. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused any other injury or condition.

Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision awarding damages. The court awarded Anne Marie Wilford-Graham $30,000.00 as a lump sum, payable to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages.

The decision was issued on August 28, 2020. Petitioner's counsel was Shealene Priscilla Mancuso of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent's counsel was Camille Michelle Collett of the U.S.

Department of Justice.
