Kiandra Stroud v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2022)

Kiandra Stroud filed a petition on January 7, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccination received on November 6, 2018. The petition lacked required supporting documentation, including medical records and an affidavit.

Despite multiple orders and attempts by her counsel to obtain the necessary information and contact Ms. Stroud, she failed to provide the outstanding documents or otherwise prosecute her claim.

The court issued an Order to Show Cause, warning that the case would be dismissed for failure to prosecute if compliance was not met. As Ms.

Stroud remained out of contact with her counsel and failed to comply with court orders, the case was dismissed for failure to prosecute. Additionally, the court noted that Ms.

Stroud failed to establish the severity requirement for compensation, as she did not provide evidence that her injury persisted for more than six months or resulted in inpatient hospitalization and surgical intervention. Therefore, the case was dismissed, and judgment was entered accordingly.
