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

Amelia Lundy filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 2, 2019, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 17, 2018. The respondent conceded that her medical course was consistent with a SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that she suffered residual effects for more than six months.

Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court found Amelia Lundy entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on May 19, 2021, the respondent filed a proffer recommending an award of $63,455.46, comprising $62,500.00 for pain and suffering and $955.46 for past unreimbursable expenses.

Amelia Lundy agreed with this proposed award. The court accepted the proffer and awarded Amelia Lundy the lump sum of $63,455.46, payable to her, as compensation for all damages available under the Act.
