Donna M. Winters v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Donna M. Winters filed a petition for compensation on December 17, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 17, 2019.

The petition stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the injury's residual effects lasted more than six months, and no civil action had been filed or award received for this injury. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her SIRVA or any other injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Donna M. Winters a lump sum of $67,000.00 for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was entered on December 23, 2022. Petitioner counsel was Richard H.

Moeller, and respondent counsel was Mary Eileen Holmes.
