Janna Glassberg v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Janna Glassberg filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 25, 2019, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on November 21, 2016. Respondent denied that the vaccine caused petitioner's alleged shoulder injury or that it was a Table injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The decision adopts the stipulation, awarding Janna Glassberg a lump sum of $55,000.00.

This amount represents compensation for all damages available under the program. The case was resolved via stipulation, with the parties agreeing to settle the issues of liability and damages.

The award is for all items of damages, and the petitioner released the United States from further claims related to this vaccine administration.
