Daisy Parrish v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Daisy Parrish filed a petition for vaccine compensation on April 30, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on November 8, 2018. Petitioner alleged the vaccine was administered in the United States, her injuries lasted more than six months, and no prior action had been brought for these injuries.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 12, 2022, agreeing to a settlement.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision of the court.

The decision awarded Daisy Parrish a lump sum of $65,000.00 as compensation for all damages, representing a compromise of the parties' positions on liability and damages. The stipulation also addressed future proceedings for attorney's fees and costs.

Petitioner was represented by Jessica Olins of Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA, and Respondent was represented by James Vincent Lopez of the U.S. Department of Justice.
