Fabray Turner v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Fabray Turner, an adult, received an influenza vaccine on December 14, 2017. She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of this vaccination and that the residual effects of her injury lasted for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied 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 the contested allegations, the parties filed a joint stipulation on November 7, 2022, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Fabray Turner was awarded a lump sum of $95,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
