Mary Mann v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Mary Mann filed a petition for vaccine compensation on January 8, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on October 23, 2018. She claimed residual effects from the injury lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that Mann sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Mann a lump sum of $41,000.00 as compensation for all damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.

The stipulation also addresses future proceedings for attorney's fees and costs. Mann released the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from all claims related to the alleged injury in exchange for the compensation.
