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

Alison Mora filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 11, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine administered on November 13, 2019. The respondent conceded that Ms.

Mora's injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table, noting she had no prior history of shoulder issues, the pain occurred within 48 hours of the vaccination, was limited to the injection site, and no other condition explained the pain. The respondent also agreed that Ms.

Mora suffered residual effects for more than six months and that all prerequisites for compensation were met. In a subsequent decision on November 29, 2022, the court awarded Ms.

Mora $63,000.00 for pain and suffering, representing compensation for all damages available under the Act.
