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

On April 7, 2023, Richard Capps filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 31, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation identifies him as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent denied that Mr. Capps sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused his shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was vaccine-related.

The public text does not describe symptom onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. On December 2, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded $40,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
