Grace Willis v. HHS - Hepatitis B, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Grace Willis filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 10, 2024, alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a hepatitis B vaccine on March 28, 2023. The respondent denied that Ms.

Willis sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 30, 2025, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms. Willis a lump sum of $13,900.00 for all items of damages available under Section 15(a).

This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages. The case proceeded as a Table claim, as the hepatitis B vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

The award is intended to compensate Ms. Willis for her alleged injury and its residual effects.
