Abby Rodriguez v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On January 6, 2021, Abby Rodriguez filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on December 3, 2018 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation decision does not describe her symptom onset, treatment history, imaging, or functional limitations.

Respondent denied that Ms. Rodriguez sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that any current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The parties nevertheless agreed to resolve the claim by joint stipulation. On October 15, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Ms.

Rodriguez was awarded $40,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
