Carol Jenkins v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On April 14, 2021, Carol Jenkins filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that a influenza vaccination caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Respondent denied that the petitioner sustained the alleged Table injury, denied vaccine causation, and denied that the current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.
The public stipulation materials do not describe the first symptom, onset interval, medical examinations, diagnostic testing, treatment course, or day-to-day limitations. The public decision identifies the vaccine type but does not state the exact vaccination date.
The parties resolved the case by joint stipulation. On February 27, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded $20,000.00 through counsel's IOLTA account as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
