Lisa Brown v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Lisa Brown filed a petition for compensation on February 13, 2019, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 25, 2017. The respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 7, 2021, agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as his decision. The decision awards Lisa Brown a lump sum of $62,000.00, payable by check to Petitioner, for all items of damages.

This award represents compensation for her SIRVA injury, which is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The case was settled via stipulation, and judgment was entered accordingly.

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

Respondent was represented by Ida Nassar of the U.S. Department of Justice.

The decision was issued on October 13, 2021.
