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

On January 7, 2021, Kendra Sage filed a petition seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on August 13, 2020. Petitioner also claimed that she experienced residual effects from the injury for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's SIRVA or any other injury. Despite maintaining their respective positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on March 11, 2024.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the file and adopted the stipulation as the decision.

The stipulation awarded Kendra Sage a lump sum of $45,000.00, intended to cover all damages available under the Act. The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
