Stephanie Law v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Stephanie Law filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a Table injury, specifically shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), as a result of her October 4, 2022, influenza vaccine. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision awarding damages.

Stephanie Law was awarded a lump sum of $30,000.00 for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). The stipulation also noted that Stephanie Law received a COVID-19 vaccine on the same date, but that claims for COVID-19 vaccine injuries are handled under a separate program.

The parties agreed to submit to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
