Tammy Morton Webb v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Tammy Morton Webb filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of her October 2, 2017 influenza vaccination. The respondent conceded that Ms.

Webb is entitled to compensation, as her medical course was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table. Specifically, she had no pre-vaccination history of shoulder issues, pain occurred within 48 hours post-vaccination, and the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, with no other identified condition explaining the symptoms.

Her condition also resulted in residual effects lasting more than six months. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, entitlement was granted.

Subsequently, the parties reached a stipulation for damages. The court awarded Ms.

Webb a total of $60,492.01, comprising $60,000.00 for pain and suffering and $492.01 for past unreimbursed expenses.
