Jeanne Tilley v. HHS - Influenza, left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Jeanne Tilley filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 6, 2019, alleging she suffered a left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 18, 2017. The respondent conceded that her medical course was consistent with SIRVA as defined on the Vaccine Injury Table, noting her pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, was limited to the injection site, and no other condition explained the pain.

The respondent also confirmed that her condition persisted for more than six months. A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 25, 2020, finding Ms.

Tilley entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on May 4, 2020, the respondent proffered an award of $83,120.17, which included $82,500.00 for pain and suffering and $620.17 for past out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Ms. Tilley, an adult, agreed with the proffered award.

The Chief Special Master awarded the lump sum payment of $83,120.17.
