Beth A. Ross v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Beth A. Ross filed a petition for compensation on October 31, 2022, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 30, 2019.

She claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, that her condition had residual effects for more than six months, and that she had no prior award or settlement for this injury. Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA injury or that the vaccine caused or aggravated her condition.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on October 27, 2022, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision.

Beth A. Ross was awarded a lump sum of $20,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.

This decision was entered on December 1, 2022.
