Monique Ginn v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Monique Ginn filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 3, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine given on November 1, 2019. The respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Ms.

Ginn had no prior shoulder issues, her symptoms were confined to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained her pain. The respondent also confirmed the case was timely filed, the vaccine was administered in the U.S., and the injury met the six-month severity requirement.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on May 17, 2022, finding Ms. Ginn entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on June 21, 2022, the respondent filed a proffer recommending an award of $83,500.00 for pain and suffering, which Ms. Ginn agreed to.

The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding this amount on July 22, 2022.
