Alexandra Marcucci v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Alexandra Marcucci filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 2, 2022, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) caused by an influenza vaccine she received on November 17, 2018. She stated that the vaccination was administered in the United States, that she suffered residual effects for more than six months, and that no civil action or prior compensation had been sought.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her injury. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Alexandra Marcucci a lump sum of $21,500.00 for all damages available under Section 15(a). The award represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
