Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On July 19, 2023, Santosh Joshi filed a petition alleging that a Tdap vaccine administered on June 13, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The entitlement record reflected earlier disagreement about the Table SIRVA requirements, but respondent later filed an amended Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr.
Joshi met the criteria for SIRVA under the Vaccine Injury Table and the Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran accepted that amended position. Entitlement was granted on December 2, 2025.
Damages remained to be determined, and the public ruling does not provide a full clinical chronology of onset, examinations, imaging, injections, therapy, or residual limitations.
