Stacy Fogerty v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Stacy Fogerty filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on November 5, 2021. She also received a COVID-19 vaccine on the same day.

Ms. Fogerty claimed residual effects from the SIRVA for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her injury or any other condition. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms. Fogerty a lump sum of $20,000.00 for all damages.

This amount represents compensation for her alleged SIRVA. The stipulation also included a release of claims related to the COVID-19 vaccine under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.

The case was resolved through this settlement, avoiding further litigation on liability or damages.
