Alisha Bullock v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (2024)

Alisha Bullock filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 6, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from a Tetanus diphtheria-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) vaccination on June 2, 2020. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms.

Bullock sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her injury. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 23, 2024, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the court's decision.

Ms. Bullock was awarded a lump sum of $30,700.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was issued on January 26, 2024. Petitioner was represented by Ronald Craig Homer of Conway, Homer, P.C., and respondent was represented by Bridget Corridon of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset, symptoms, diagnostic tests, or treatments related to Ms.

Bullock's alleged injury.
