Tammy Davis v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Tammy Davis filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 8, 2018. Respondent denied that the vaccine caused her injury.

However, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Tammy Davis $25,000.00.

This amount included a lump sum of $23,124.02 payable to Petitioner and $1,875.98 to reimburse a Medicaid lien for services rendered by the State of New York. The award represents compensation for all items of damages available under the program.

The stipulation also noted that the parties would submit to further proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs. The case was settled as a Table claim, with the stipulation not constituting an admission by the United States that the vaccine caused the injury.
