Courtney Peavey v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Courtney Peavey filed a petition for vaccine compensation on August 31, 2019, alleging she suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on September 14, 2018. She stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the injury's effects lasted more than six months, and she had not received any prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that Ms. Peavey sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her condition.

Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on August 31, 2021, agreeing to settle the case. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Ms.

Peavey $40,000.00 as compensation for all damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.

The stipulation also addressed future proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs.
