Madonna Oliveria v. HHS - Influenza, Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Madonna Oliveria filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine received on October 10, 2019. Respondent denied that the alleged SIRVA met the standards for a Table Injury or was caused by the vaccine.

Nevertheless, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Madonna Oliveria a total of $20,000.

This amount includes $19,119.98 payable directly to Petitioner and $880.02 to satisfy a State of Louisiana Medicaid lien. The parties agreed that this compensation covers all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in accordance with this award, and the parties also agreed to submit to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
