Jennifer Soileau v. HHS - Influenza, vaccine-induced injection site reaction, left arm pain, paresthesia, diffuse sensory motor polyneuropathy of the left arm/shoulder, left median neuropathy at the wrist, rotator cuff capsule sprain, cervical radiculopathy, cervicalgia, tendinopathy, and left shoulder tears (2026)

On March 31, 2021, Jennifer Soileau filed a petition after receiving an influenza vaccine on January 7, 2019. She alleged a vaccine-induced injection-site reaction with left arm pain, paresthesia, diffuse sensory-motor polyneuropathy of the left arm and shoulder, left median neuropathy at the wrist, rotator-cuff capsule sprain, cervical radiculopathy, cervicalgia, tendinopathy, and left shoulder tears.

Respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused the alleged injuries. The public stipulation does not describe the first symptom, onset interval, diagnostic testing, therapy, injections, or later functional limitations.

It does state that the parties resolved the claim by joint stipulation filed January 20, 2026, without respondent admitting causation. Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth adopted the stipulation on January 20, 2026.

The award was $45,000.00 payable through counsel's IOLTA account for disbursement to Ms. Soileau, plus $2,331.20 for a MultiPlan lien, for a total of $47,331.20.
