Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On November 30, 2021, Taylor Parker filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 21, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged residual effects lasting more than six months.
Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Parker's alleged shoulder injury, any other injury, or her current condition.
The case resolved by stipulation, so the public decision does not provide a detailed onset narrative, medical treatment history, diagnostic imaging, injections, physical therapy, or expert testimony. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran adopted the stipulation on July 1, 2025, and awarded a $20,000.00 lump sum. A later attorney-fee decision was separate from the injury-compensation award.
