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

Donna Arrogante filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccination received on December 1, 2019. Respondent denied that Ms.

Arrogante sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Ms. Arrogante a lump sum of $30,000.00.

This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The parties also agreed to submit to further proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs.

The stipulation releases the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from all claims related to the alleged injury from the flu vaccination.
