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

Jennifer Craft filed a petition for vaccine compensation on December 2, 2020, alleging injury from an influenza vaccine received on January 18, 2019. Petitioner alleged a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) that occurred within the Table time period and persisted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the vaccine caused Petitioner's alleged injury or that she sustained a Table SIRVA injury. The parties, however, reached a stipulation to settle the case.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable.

As part of the stipulation, the court awarded Jennifer Craft $72,500.00 as a lump sum payment, intended to cover all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was issued on August 18, 2022, following the parties' joint stipulation on damages.

Petitioner was represented by Maximillian J. Muller of Muller Brazil, LLP, and the respondent was represented by Terrence Kevin Mangan, Jr. of the U.S.

Department of Justice.
