Leighann Revel v. HHS - Hepatitis B, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Leighann Revel filed a petition for vaccine compensation alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a hepatitis B vaccine she received on May 18, 2018. She further alleged that she experienced the residual effects of this injury for more than six months.

Respondent denied that Ms. Revel sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused the alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that the vaccine significantly aggravated her alleged injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Ms.

Revel a lump sum of $134,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the parties agreed to settle the issues between them.
