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

Elizabeth Evans filed a petition for compensation on December 5, 2024, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on November 15, 2023. She also received a COVID-19 vaccine on the same day.

Petitioner alleged residual effects from the SIRVA for more than six months. Respondent denied that a vaccine caused her injury or that it was a Table injury.

Despite these positions, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Elizabeth Evans $48,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
