Julie Boudrie v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Julie Boudrie, an adult, 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 October 28, 2022. She alleged the injury was a Table Injury and that its residual effects lasted for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement to compensation, agreeing that her injury was consistent with SIRVA and that all other legal requirements were met. A ruling on entitlement was issued on April 11, 2025, finding her entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on April 30, 2025, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, proposing an award of $92,500.00 for pain and suffering, which petitioner agreed to. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Julie Boudrie a lump sum payment of $92,500.00 for pain and suffering, representing compensation for all damages available under the Act.
