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

Svetlana Loshak, an adult, received an influenza vaccine on October 9, 2021. She filed a petition for compensation on April 19, 2023, alleging that she sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) within the time period set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, and denied that her current condition is a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Svetlana Loshak a lump sum of $60,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The stipulation also addresses attorney's fees and costs, and releases the United States from further claims related to this vaccination.
