Glorse McPhee v. HHS - Pneumococcal, left shoulder injury related to vaccination administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Glorse McPhee filed a petition for vaccine compensation on August 27, 2019, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar 13) vaccine received on May 7, 2018. The petitioner stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for over six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that the injury was a Table injury or that the vaccine caused the condition. Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 8, 2022, agreeing to settle the case.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Glorse McPhee a lump sum of $35,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The award represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
