AI-assisted case summary:
Kelli Wilson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 27, 2025, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 2, 2017.

Stipulation at ¶¶ 3-5. “Respondent denies that [P]etitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury;
