Mammie L. Young v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)

Mammie L. Young filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging a shoulder injury following an influenza vaccination received on September 26, 2019.

She claimed to have suffered residual effects of this injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms.

Young sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision. Ms.

Young was awarded a lump sum of $10,500.00, representing compensation for all eligible damages. This amount covers her alleged shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), which is a condition listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the parties agreed to settle the matter through stipulation, avoiding a contested hearing on entitlement or damages.
