Nadine Campbell v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Nadine Campbell filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 5, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine received on October 9, 2019. She further alleged that she received the vaccine within the United States, suffered residual effects for more than six months, and had not filed a civil action or received other compensation for her alleged vaccine-caused injury.

Respondent denied that Petitioner suffered from SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite the denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 27, 2023, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages. Pursuant to the stipulation, Nadine Campbell was awarded a lump sum of $35,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a).

The decision was filed on March 30, 2023.
