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

Alexander Terry filed a petition on January 1, 2021, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on September 30, 2019. The respondent denied that Mr.

Terry sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties reached a stipulation recommending an award of compensation.

The Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. The parties agreed that Mr.

Terry would receive a lump sum of $77,879.74, representing compensation for all damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). Judgment was to be entered in accordance with the stipulation.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
