Corinne O’Sullivan-Bradley v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Corinne O’Sullivan-Bradley filed a petition for compensation on January 26, 2021, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 21, 2019. She stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the injury had residual effects for more than six months, and she had not received a prior award or settlement.

Respondent denied that the petitioner suffered from SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused her injury, and denied that her condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on December 19, 2022, agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, the court awarded Corinne O’Sullivan-Bradley a lump sum of $39,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
