Jacob Schriner v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) or off-Table shoulder injury (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On January 4, 2021, Jacob Schriner filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 10, 2018 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The claim was initially treated as a Table SIRVA case.
Respondent challenged the Table claim, including whether the record proved vaccination and whether the SIRVA elements were satisfied. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran reviewed the record and dismissed the Table SIRVA theory on June 11, 2025. The ruling did not end the entire case, because Mr.
Schriner had indicated an intent to pursue an off-Table causation theory. The case was transferred out of the Special Processing Unit so the off-Table theory could continue.
No compensation award appears in the available public record.
