Rosanna Charles v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On November 14, 2022, Rosanna Charles filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 11, 2021 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report filed October 10, 2024, and Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found Ms. Charles entitled to compensation on October 25, 2024.
The public entitlement and damages texts do not describe her first symptom, exact onset, shoulder examinations, imaging, injections, therapy, work limitations, or personal impact. On March 31, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $65,000.00 for pain and suffering as a lump sum payable to Ms.
Charles's counsel for prompt disbursement. The proffer identified Ms.
Charles as a competent adult. A later August 20, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
