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

On April 30, 2021, Mark Peters filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 1, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, agreeing that the Table SIRVA criteria were met: pain occurred within 48 hours, was limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained the shoulder pain.

The parties later litigated damages, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran evaluated comparable SIRVA awards.

On October 1, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $122,000.00 for pain and suffering. A later attorney-fee decision was separate from injury compensation.
