Carol Cracraft v. HHS - Prevnar 13, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Carol Cracraft filed a petition for vaccine compensation on May 6, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following a Prevnar 13 vaccination on January 3, 2018. She further alleged that she experienced residual effects of this injury for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Ms. Cracraft suffered a Table Injury for SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition is a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 2, 2024, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision.

Ms. Cracraft was awarded a lump sum of $70,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the parties stipulated to the award amount. The decision was issued on March 5, 2024.
