Tina Marie Moore v. HHS - Tdap, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Tina Marie Moore filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of a Tdap vaccine administered on July 20, 2018. She stated the vaccine was given in the United States and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, with no prior award or settlement.

Respondent denied that Ms. Moore sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her condition.

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

Moore a lump sum of $86,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the parties stipulated to the damages, resolving the matter through settlement.
