Robin McKinnon v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (2023)

Robin McKinnon filed a petition alleging a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccine received on October 9, 2019. She initially had legal representation, and medical records were filed, showing treatment for her shoulder injury within six months of vaccination.

However, her attorney later withdrew from the case due to a loss of contact with Ms. McKinnon.

The court issued multiple orders requiring Ms. McKinnon to provide a status report and confirm her intent to prosecute the case, but she failed to respond to any of them.

The medical records filed did not sufficiently demonstrate that her injury persisted for the required six months, and she did not pursue further treatment or documentation. Ultimately, the court dismissed the petition for failure to prosecute and for insufficient proof of entitlement to compensation.

The case was not compensated.
