Harris Paltrowitz v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On August 10, 2023, Harris Paltrowitz filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 24, 2021 caused shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that the injury was consistent with Table SIRVA: no prior shoulder problem explained the symptoms, pain began within forty-eight hours, pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injected shoulder, and no other condition explained the presentation.

The public documents do not describe the treatment chronology, imaging, injections, therapy, work effects, or residual limitations. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found entitlement on April 3, 2025. On June 18, 2025, he awarded $40,250.32 as a lump sum, consisting of $40,000.00 for pain and suffering and $250.32 in past unreimbursable expenses.
