Jennifer Kjeldgaard v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (2025)

On October 31, 2022, Jennifer Kjeldgaard filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 14, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that the vaccine was administered in the United States and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that Ms. Kjeldgaard sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was vaccine-related.

The public stipulation does not describe onset, medical care, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. On November 18, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded $50,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
