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

On October 14, 2021, Tedros Wondimu filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination on September 26, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. After respondent's medical review, the parties attempted settlement discussions, but they did not resolve the claim.

Respondent then filed a Rule 4(c) report opposing compensation and disputing whether the record proved the Table SIRVA elements. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the evidence on a motion for ruling on the record and focused on whether shoulder pain began within forty-eight hours of vaccination. On November 21, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran concluded that Mr.

Wondimu's shoulder pain more likely than not began within forty-eight hours of the flu shot and granted entitlement for SIRVA. The ruling did not decide damages.

A later CourtListener supplement is present in staging text, but the extracted text is badly garbled and does not supply reliable readable damages or merits facts.
