Jill Professori v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On August 11, 2022, Jill Professori filed a petition, later amended, alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 27, 2020 caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that symptoms persisted longer than six months.
Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, agreeing that Ms. Professori had no prior left shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that pain began within 48 hours; that the pain was limited to the vaccinated shoulder; that no other condition explained the pain; and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.
Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran entered entitlement on May 30, 2024.
The damages decision was based on a proffer rather than a contested damages ruling, so it does not provide a detailed clinical timeline. On August 14, 2025, the Special Master awarded $140,787, consisting of $130,000 for pain and suffering and $10,787 for past lost wages.
Ms. Professori was represented by Maximillian J.
