Angela Mosley v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2023)

Angela Mosley filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on September 28, 2018. She further alleged that she suffered residual effects of the injury for more than six months.

The respondent conceded that Petitioner is entitled to compensation, finding that her case met the criteria for SIRVA on the Vaccine Injury Table. Specifically, the respondent noted that her pain occurred within 48 hours after the injection, was limited to the shoulder, and no other condition explained the symptoms.

The ruling on entitlement was issued on May 2, 2023. Subsequently, on October 17, 2023, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation.

The parties agreed to a total award of $124,321.79, which included $115,000.00 for pain and suffering, $126.79 for past unreimbursable expenses, and $9,194.45 to satisfy a State of Oklahoma Medicaid lien. The decision awarding damages was issued on November 21, 2023, and the court ordered the award as stated in the proffer.
