Amanda Prieur v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Amanda Prieur filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 12, 2021, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine she received on November 20, 2020. She claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States and that she suffered 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 positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on May 16, 2024, agreeing to settle the case.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Petitioner a lump sum of $25,000.00 and an additional $3,100.04 to reimburse a Medicaid lien for services rendered by the State of New York. These amounts represent compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The case was resolved via stipulation, with the court awarding compensation based on the agreement.
