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

Patricia Corbosiero filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) due to an influenza vaccine received on October 25, 2018. She claimed the injury was a Table injury.

The case was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the onset of her shoulder pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, or that she suffered residual effects for more than six months. The petitioner did not seek medical care until eleven months after vaccination, and her testimonial evidence was not contemporaneous or sufficiently detailed to overcome this significant treatment delay.

The court also found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the statutory severity requirement. Therefore, the petition was dismissed for insufficient evidence.
