Edna Beebe v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Edna Beebe filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 12, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on September 30, 2020. She did not file any supporting documents with her initial petition.

The court issued an order requiring her to file medical records and other documentation. Her counsel repeatedly attempted to contact Ms.

Beebe to complete the necessary steps but was unsuccessful, indicating he had been unable to communicate with her since November 2020. The court issued an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, which was served on Ms.

Beebe. As she failed to respond or provide any justification, the case was dismissed for failure to prosecute.

The decision does not specify an award amount or detail the theory of causation, as the case was dismissed procedurally.
