Kristina Aycock v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Kristina Aycock filed a petition for compensation on February 12, 2019, alleging a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 3, 2017. She claimed the injury occurred within the timeframe specified in the Vaccine Injury Table or was caused by the vaccine, and that she experienced residual effects for over six months.

The respondent denied that the petitioner suffered a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused her condition. Despite these denials, the parties reached a stipulation to settle the case.

Special Master Thomas L. Gowen adopted the stipulation, awarding Kristina Aycock a lump sum of $53,203.93 for all damages.

Judgment was entered accordingly. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, diagnostic tests, or treatments received by the petitioner.

Petitioner was represented by Leah V. Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V.

Durant, PLLC, and respondent was represented by Christine M. Becer of the United States Department of Justice.
