On September 21, 2022, Brian Shaw filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 15, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found Mr. Shaw entitled to compensation on August 31, 2023.

Damages were later decided by proffer. The award accounted for pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, and travel expenses associated with the vaccine injury.
