Dayna Clark v. HHS - Influenza, left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2020)

Dayna Clark filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 10, 2019, alleging she suffered a left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 10, 2017. The respondent conceded that Ms.

Clark was entitled to compensation, agreeing that her injury met the criteria set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table. Specifically, the respondent noted that Ms.

Clark had no prior history of shoulder issues, her pain and reduced range of motion occurred within 48 hours of the vaccination, and her symptoms were limited to the affected shoulder. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, entitlement to compensation was granted on August 3, 2020.

Subsequently, on August 10, 2020, the respondent proffered an award of $55,000.00 for pain and suffering, which Ms. Clark agreed to.

The court awarded this lump sum payment to Ms. Clark.
