Ashlee M. Hong v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Ashlee M. Hong filed a petition for vaccine compensation on February 10, 2023, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccination on August 26, 2020.

Ms. Hong claimed the injury resulted in residual effects lasting more than six months.

The respondent denied that Ms. Hong sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged left shoulder injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms. Hong a lump sum of $62,500.00 for all damages.

This amount is intended to compensate for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was issued on March 14, 2025.

Petitioner was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop of Jeffrey S.

Pop & Associates, and Respondent was represented by Alexa Roggenkamp of the U.S. Department of Justice.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset, symptoms, medical tests, or treatments related to Ms. Hong's alleged injury, nor does it name any medical experts.
