Randi Wender v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Randi Wender filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine she received on October 28, 2019. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms.

Wender sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Ms. Wender a lump sum of $7,500.00.

This amount represents compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The case was resolved through this stipulation, avoiding further litigation on the merits of entitlement or damages.

The decision was issued on May 16, 2024, following the stipulation filed on April 15, 2024.
