Glendaly Ramos Rodriguez v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Glendaly Ramos Rodriguez filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 20, 2021, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine received on October 17, 2020. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that the case should be settled with an award of compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Glendaly Ramos Rodriguez a lump sum of $25,000.00.

This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the award was made in accordance with the stipulation, which also addressed attorneys' fees and costs.
