Kelli Wilson v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Kelli Wilson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 27, 2025, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 2, 2017. She claimed the SIRVA was a Table injury, that she received the vaccine in the United States, and that she continued to suffer residual effects for more than six months post-vaccination.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that her alleged shoulder injury was caused-in-fact by the flu vaccine, and denied that the flu vaccine caused her any other injury or current condition. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 27, 2025, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Kelli Wilson was awarded a lump sum of $25,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
