Julia A. Snider v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Julia A. Snider filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine she received on October 14, 2022.

The respondent conceded that her alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that she satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. A Ruling on Entitlement was issued on February 10, 2025, finding her entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on March 20, 2025, the respondent filed a Proffer on award of compensation, which the petitioner agreed to. The court awarded Julia A.

Snider a lump sum of $47,500.00 for pain and suffering, to be paid through an ACH deposit to her counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement. This amount represents compensation for all damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act.
