Tina Murry v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Tina Murry 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 an influenza vaccine administered on October 28, 2016. The respondent conceded that Ms.

Murry is entitled to compensation, agreeing that she satisfied the criteria set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table and the Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation for a SIRVA. Based on this concession, the Chief Special Master issued a ruling on entitlement.

Subsequently, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation, indicating that Ms. Murry should be awarded $52,710.00, comprised of $52,500.00 for pain and suffering and $210.00 for past unreimbursable out-of-pocket medical expenses.

The petitioner agreed with this proffered award. The court accepted the proffer and awarded Ms.

Murry the lump sum of $52,710.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the program.
