Lisa M. Jackson v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Lisa Jackson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular Pertussis (Tdap) vaccine administered on February 4, 2016. The respondent conceded that Petitioner is entitled to compensation, agreeing that her medical course was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that she suffered residual effects for more than six months.

Following the ruling on entitlement, the parties submitted a proffer on award of compensation. The court awarded Lisa Jackson a lump sum payment of $165,850.07, which included $162,500.00 for pain and suffering, $1,514.05 for past lost wages, and $1,836.02 for past unreimbursed expenses.

This award represented all elements of compensation to which she would be entitled.
