Kaminie Rampergash v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Kaminie Rampergash filed a petition for vaccine compensation on June 23, 2019, alleging that she suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 11, 2017. She stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that her injury had residual effects for more than six months, and that she had not received any prior award or settlement for this condition.

Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a Table injury for SIRVA and denied that the flu vaccine caused her injury. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on October 26, 2022, agreeing to settle the case.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Kaminie Rampergash a lump sum of $150,000.00 as compensation for all damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.

The stipulation also addressed the process for awarding attorneys' fees and costs.
