Veronica Wilmouth v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Veronica Wilmouth filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 20, 2019. She claimed the injury was a Table injury and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Petitioner 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 settle the case and award compensation.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Veronica Wilmouth a lump sum of $50,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was made on October 27, 2023, following the stipulation filed on September 26, 2023, and the initial petition filed on January 11, 2021.
