John Troy v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On July 21, 2023, John Troy filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered in his left arm on October 5, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The stipulation noted that he received a pneumococcal vaccine in the same arm on November 23, 2022, but the compensated claim concerned the earlier flu vaccination.

Respondent denied that Mr. Troy sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied vaccine-related sequelae.

The public stipulation does not describe the first symptom, treatment visits, imaging, injections, therapy, or residual limitations. The parties resolved the case by joint stipulation.

On August 1, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded Mr.

Troy $90,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.
