Jason Brose v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Jason Brose filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine he received on November 9, 2020, caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Mr.

Brose, a 40-year-old male, had a history of left shoulder pain dating back to 2000, including diagnoses of calcific tendonitis and rotator cuff syndrome, but his symptoms had resolved in the years prior to vaccination. He reported immediate pressure and pain after the injection, which intensified over the following days.

He sought medical attention six weeks later, reporting sudden onset of pain that had been occurring for six weeks. His orthopedist diagnosed acute shoulder bursitis secondary to the injection being administered too high, likely into the subacromial space.

Mr. Brose underwent conservative treatment including physical therapy and two cortisone injections over an eight-and-a-half-month period, with a significant gap in treatment.

The court found that Mr. Brose met the criteria for a Table SIRVA, including no prior history that would explain the post-vaccination symptoms and onset of pain within 48 hours.

He was awarded $48,000.00 for past pain and suffering.
