The case later focused on whether she had proven the specific Vaccine Injury Table definition of SIRVA.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the contemporaneous medical record. The evidence supported some shoulder symptoms after vaccination, but it also included objective forearm swelling, elbow complaints, and imaging findings that did not fit neatly within the Table's requirement that pain and reduced range of motion be limited to the vaccinated shoulder. Respondent argued that the record did not prove a Table SIRVA.\n\nOn April 24, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran dismissed the Table SIRVA theory. He did not enter a final denial of every possible theory; instead, he concluded that Ms. Abshire's off-Table causation claim could continue outside the Special Processing Unit. No damages award appears in the available public record.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
