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

Pamela Allen, an adult, received an influenza vaccine on November 14, 2019. She filed a petition for compensation on February 4, 2022, alleging she sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) within the Table's timeframe, or alternatively, that the flu vaccine caused her shoulder injury.

She also alleged the residual effects of this condition lasted for more than six months. Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related 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 Pamela Allen a lump sum of $25,000.00 for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

This decision was issued on June 27, 2024.
