Kara Mahuron v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On May 6, 2021, Kara Mahuron filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that a influenza vaccination administered on October 2, 2020 caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Respondent denied that the petitioner sustained the alleged Table injury, denied vaccine causation, and denied that the current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The public stipulation materials do not describe the first symptom, onset interval, medical examinations, diagnostic testing, treatment course, or day-to-day limitations. The parties resolved the case by joint stipulation.

On February 3, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded $24,100.00, paid through counsel's IOLTA account as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
