Susan Poynton v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Susan Poynton filed a petition on April 4, 2023, alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 4, 2019. She stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that no civil action had been filed or other compensation received for the injury.

The respondent denied that Ms. Poynton suffered from SIRVA or that the vaccine caused her alleged injury or current condition.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation for compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision awarding damages. Ms.

Poynton was awarded a lump sum of $53,734.82, payable by check to the Petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision was issued on May 5, 2023.

Petitioner's counsel was Jeffrey S. Pop of Jeffrey S.

Pop & Associates. Respondent's counsel was Jennifer A.

Shah of the U.S. Department of Justice.
