Kathleen Corsillo v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (2021)

Kathleen Corsillo filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on August 22, 2017. She also received a flu vaccine on October 16, 2018.

The petition stated that the vaccines were administered in the United States and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, with no prior award or settlement for her condition. Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a Table injury or that the vaccine caused her injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Kathleen Corsillo $42,500.00 as compensation for all damages available under the program.

This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
