Carey Cribbs v. HHS - Influenza, SIRVA and chronic regional pain syndrome (2025)

On February 25, 2022, Carey Cribbs filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 1, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration and chronic regional pain syndrome. The public stipulation identifies petitioner as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the influenza vaccine caused SIRVA, chronic regional pain syndrome, or any other injury, and denied that the current condition was a vaccine-related sequela. The public stipulation does not describe the first symptom, treatment history, diagnostic testing, therapy, pain course, or residual limitations.

The parties resolved the claim by joint stipulation. On November 6, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded $85,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
