Daniell Halaz v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2021)

Danielle Halaz filed a petition on June 9, 2021, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on September 25, 2020. Ms.

Halaz initially alleged a Table Injury for SIRVA. The court ordered her to provide supporting medical records and documentation to establish the severity requirement, such as the injury persisting for at least six months, causing death, or resulting in inpatient hospitalization and surgical intervention.

Ms. Halaz later filed a motion to dismiss her own petition, stating that an investigation demonstrated she would be unable to prove her entitlement to compensation.

The public decision does not describe her symptoms, specific medical treatment, or the names of any experts. The court found that Ms.

Halaz failed to establish the severity requirement and admitted she could not prove her case. Consequently, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran granted her motion, dismissing the case for insufficient proof. The public decision does not specify an award amount or annuity terms.
