Sakinah Wood v. HHS - HPV, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Sakinah Wood filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 30, 2025, alleging injury from HPV vaccinations received on December 2, 2021, and February 4, 2022. She claimed a Table injury, specifically shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), which occurred within the Table's timeframe.

Petitioner also stated the vaccines were administered in the United States, her injury had residual effects for over six months, and she had no prior civil action settlement for this injury. Respondent denied that Ms.

Wood sustained a SIRVA injury or that the HPV vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. Despite these denials, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision awarding damages. Ms.

Wood was awarded a lump sum of $18,000.00, representing compensation for all eligible damages. This decision resolves the liability and damages claims for Ms.

Wood's alleged vaccine-related injury.
