Nancy Harrison v. HHS - Influenza, complex regional pain syndrome (2025)

Nancy Harrison filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 26, 2023, alleging injury from an influenza vaccine received on August 18, 2020, and a pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar 13) vaccine received on August 22, 2020. Both vaccines are listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

Ms. Harrison claimed that these vaccines caused her to develop complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in her left arm, or alternatively, significantly aggravated a pre-existing injury, and that she suffered residual effects for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused Ms. Harrison's alleged injuries or aggravated any pre-existing condition.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as its decision.

Ms. Harrison was awarded a lump sum of $100,000.00 as compensation for all eligible damages.

The decision was issued on April 25, 2025.
