Tina Jackson v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Tina Jackson filed a petition alleging she suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 11, 2019. She was 61 years old at the time of vaccination.

The court reviewed medical records and declarations. The decision found that Ms.

Jackson did not meet her burden of proof for a Table SIRVA claim because she failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that her pain began within 48 hours of vaccination, noting a delay of over two and a half years before she first reported the pain. The court also questioned the situs of the vaccination, as the only record indicated the vaccine was administered in her left arm, while she claimed right arm pain.

The court dismissed the Table claim and ordered Ms. Jackson to show cause why a causation-in-fact claim should not also be dismissed due to significant issues with establishing a medical theory, logical sequence of cause and effect, and proximate temporal relationship.
