Margo Ramarui filed a petition for vaccine compensation on April 19, 2021, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on November 4, 2020. She further alleged that she experienced residual effects of this injury for more than six months.
Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged injury. Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on June 12, 2024, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.
The court adopted the stipulation as its decision. Margo Ramarui was awarded a lump sum of $20,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.
This amount represents a settlement of liability and damages claimed under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The case proceeded as a Table claim, as SIRVA is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table for influenza vaccinations.
