Renee Goree v. HHS - Influenza, left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Renee Goree filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 12, 2019, alleging she suffered a left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine administered on October 13, 2017. Respondent conceded that her injury was consistent with a SIRVA injury as defined on the Vaccine Injury Table, noting her lack of prior shoulder issues, the onset of pain within 48 hours post-vaccination, and that the pain was localized to the injection site.

Respondent also agreed that her condition resulted in residual effects for more than six months. A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 29, 2021, finding Ms.

Goree entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on September 1, 2021, Respondent filed a proffer agreeing to an award of $95,000.00 for actual and projected pain and suffering, which Ms.

Goree accepted. Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a decision awarding Ms.

Goree a lump sum payment of $95,000.00 on October 8, 2021.
