Lerma-Marie Escobar Remias v. HHS - Td, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Lerma-Marie Escobar Remias filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a Td vaccine on March 18, 2021. She claimed to have experienced residual effects of the injury for more than six months.

Respondent denied that the 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 a decision should be entered awarding compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Lerma-Marie Escobar Remias a lump sum of $25,363.00. 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 on the terms set forth in the stipulation.
