Lyndsay Randle v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Lyndsay Randle filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine she received on September 30, 2019. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, conceded entitlement to compensation.

The respondent agreed that Ms. Randle had no prior history of shoulder issues, that her pain and reduced range of motion began within 48 hours of the vaccination, were limited to the injection site, and that no other condition could explain her symptoms.

The respondent also confirmed that the case was timely filed, the vaccine was administered in the United States, her injuries persisted for more than six months, and she had not received other compensation for this injury. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court found Ms.

Randle entitled to compensation. Subsequently, a decision awarding damages was issued.

The respondent proffered an award of $90,771.62, which included $90,000.00 for pain and suffering and $771.62 for out-of-pocket expenses, and Ms. Randle agreed to this amount.

The court awarded Ms. Randle the stipulated sum of $90,771.62.
