Jennifer Jennings v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Jennifer Jennings filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on June 7, 2021, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccination received on November 6, 2019. Ms.

Jennings claimed the injury was a Table injury and that its residual effects persisted for more than six months. The respondent denied that Ms.

Jennings sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged condition, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 23, 2024, agreeing to settle the case.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the court's decision.

Ms. Jennings was awarded a lump sum of $30,000.00, payable to her, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was finalized on January 23, 2024. Petitioner was represented by Amy Collignon Gunn of The Simon Law Firm, P.C., and respondent was represented by Camille Jordan Webster of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
