Pamela Brackley v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), including impingement and adhesive capsulitis (2021)

Pamela Brackley filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 10, 2019. She alleged that a Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) vaccine administered on November 22, 2018, caused her to suffer a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), including impingement and adhesive capsulitis.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Brackley is entitled to compensation.

The respondent specifically stated that Ms. Brackley satisfied the criteria for SIRVA as set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table and the Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation.

Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found that Ms.

Brackley is entitled to compensation. The case was granted entitlement pending a damages decision.

The public decision does not describe the petitioner's counsel, respondent's counsel, specific medical symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses. The decision was issued on May 27, 2021.
