Jill Nelson v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Jill Nelson filed a petition on March 9, 2022, alleging that she suffered a Table Injury, specifically Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 19, 2019. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

Following preliminary assessments, the court ordered Ms. Nelson to prepare a demand for the respondent.

However, her counsel reported being unable to contact Ms. Nelson since July 2021, despite numerous attempts via voicemail, email, and certified mail.

The court issued an Order to Show Cause on February 2, 2022, instructing Ms. Nelson to explain why her claim should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and to provide information regarding her claim.

Her counsel certified that the order was served on Ms. Nelson.

Ms. Nelson herself filed no response to the Order to Show Cause.

The court found that Ms. Nelson failed to communicate with her counsel and prosecute her claim, disregarding court orders without justification.

Consequently, the case was dismissed for failure to prosecute on April 8, 2022.
