Diana Myers v. HHS - Influenza, bilateral shoulder injuries (2023)

Diana Myers filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 7, 2021, alleging that she developed bilateral shoulder injuries after receiving influenza and Tdap vaccines on November 8, 2018. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused Ms.

Myers's alleged injuries. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, clinical details of the injuries, diagnostic tests performed, or treatments received.

However, on October 17, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms. Myers a lump sum of $105,000.00, payable by check, for all items of damages.

Petitioner was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant, PLLC, and Respondent was represented by Madelyn Weeks of the U.S.

Department of Justice. This decision resolves the case by awarding compensation based on the parties' agreement.
