He was represented by Jonathan J. Svitak of Shannon Law Group, P.C.\n\nThe public decision explains that Luu did not file supporting documentation with the petition. After an initial order required additional statutorily required documents, he still did not file supporting medical records. On March 25, 2025, he moved for a decision dismissing the petition, stating that an investigation of the facts and science supporting the case had shown he would be unable to prove entitlement to compensation in the Vaccine Program.\n\nBecause the case ended on insufficient proof, the public decision does not describe Luu's first shoulder symptom, onset interval, examination findings, imaging, injections, physical therapy, work impact, or day-to-day impairment. It also does not identify experts or evaluate a biological causation theory. The available story is procedural: Luu alleged an on-Table shoulder injury from the June 2022 Tdap vaccination but did not submit medical records to support the claim.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran granted Luu's motion and dismissed the case for insufficient proof on March 28, 2025. No injury compensation was awarded.","is_minor_inferred":null,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
