Susan Jellison v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On July 17, 2023, Susan Jellison filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 19, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged residual effects lasting more than six months.
Respondent denied that Ms. Jellison's flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, any other injury, or her current condition.
The case resolved through a joint stipulation rather than a litigated medical ruling, so the public decision does not provide a detailed onset narrative, medical treatment chronology, imaging, injections, therapy, or expert testimony. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran adopted the stipulation on July 23, 2025, and awarded Ms. Jellison a lump sum of $15,000.00.
A later attorney-fee decision was separate from the injury-compensation award.
