Anita Kliebert v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On January 12, 2021, Anita Kliebert filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 5, 2018 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public orders identify her as an adult but do not state an exact age.
Special Master Dorsey dismissed the Table SIRVA claim on August 25, 2025 for failure to establish residual effects for more than six months. She then ordered Ms.
Kliebert to show cause why the remaining causation-in-fact claim should not also be dismissed. On October 2, 2025, Ms.
Kliebert moved for a decision dismissing the case, stating that she understood dismissal would be with prejudice and would result in judgment against her. On December 2, 2025, the Special Master dismissed the case.
No injury compensation was awarded.
