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

Petitioner Tracy Wiggins received an influenza vaccine on October 17, 2018, in her left shoulder. She alleged a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) within the time period set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table, with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused the alleged shoulder injury, and denied that the vaccine caused any other injury or Petitioner's current condition. The parties filed a joint stipulation on October 26, 2022, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Petitioner a lump sum of $35,000.00 for all damages. The decision was issued on November 30, 2022. Petitioner was represented by Paul R. Brazil, and Respondent was represented by Kyle Edward Pozza. The stipulation stated that it was not an admission by the United States that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, or that Petitioner suffered an injury contained in the Vaccine Injury Table.
