Nancy Ancowitz v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On January 20, 2023, Nancy Ancowitz filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on December 15, 2021 caused a Table shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that residual effects lasted more than six months, and that no prior civil award or settlement had been received for the injury.

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

The public stipulation does not describe onset, shoulder findings, imaging, injections, therapy, or daily-life limitations. On November 10, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the parties' joint stipulation and awarded Ms. Ancowitz $35,390.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

She was represented by Christopher Williams of Siri & Glimstad, LLP.
