Hannah Ellis v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On June 26, 2023, Hannah Ellis filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 20, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public proffer identifies her as an adult but does not state an exact age.
Respondent conceded that the case was appropriate for compensation as Table SIRVA, and Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on September 29, 2025. The public documents do not describe the clinical course beyond the Table findings; they do not provide the first symptom narrative, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations.
On December 11, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $122,500.00 as a lump sum through counsel for pain and suffering.
