Janelle Hill v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Janelle Hill filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 5, 2021. She claimed this was a Table injury and that she experienced residual effects for more than six months.

The respondent denied that Ms. Hill sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her condition.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms.

Hill a total of $30,075. This amount included a lump sum of $29,500 payable to Ms.

Hill, and $71.50 and $504.44 respectively, to reimburse Medicaid liens for services rendered by the State of Wisconsin. The stipulation also addressed future proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs.

The settlement represents a compromise of liability and damages, and the United States does not admit that the vaccine caused the injury.
