Mhyrynde Noa v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
Mhyrynde Noa filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 28, 2020, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine received on January 15, 2020. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused the alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that the petitioner's current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.
Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 26, 2023, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the court's decision. Mhyrynde Noa was awarded a lump sum of $52,000.00 as compensation for all damages, representing a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
The case proceeded as a Table claim, as SIRVA is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The public decision does not detail the specific dose number, time to onset, or provide information regarding petitioner counsel Paul R.
Brazil or respondent counsel Camille Jordan Webster, beyond their participation in the stipulation.
