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

Alyssa Adamson 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 an influenza vaccination on October 8, 2020. She stated that the vaccination was administered in the United States, she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and had not received prior compensation.

Respondent conceded entitlement to compensation, noting that Ms. Adamson had no prior history of shoulder pain, the pain occurred within 48 hours after the vaccination, was limited to the injection site, and no other condition explained the pain.

The case proceeded as a Table claim for SIRVA. On February 29, 2024, entitlement was granted.

Subsequently, on April 12, 2024, Respondent filed a proffer of damages, agreeing to an award of $60,000.00 for pain and suffering, which Petitioner accepted. Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a decision awarding Ms.

Adamson a lump sum payment of $60,000.00.
