Mae Macaluso v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Mae Macaluso filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 31, 2022, alleging injuries related to an influenza vaccine she received on October 5, 2020. She claimed a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) that occurred within the Table timeframe, or alternatively, that the vaccine caused or aggravated a pre-existing shoulder injury.

Respondent denied the claims. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement.

Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Mae Macaluso a lump sum of $7,000.00 for all damages. The case was resolved by this decision on March 3, 2026.
