Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On September 15, 2023, Carol McNulty filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on September 16, 2021 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation identifies her as an adult petitioner but does not provide her exact age.
Respondent denied that Ms. McNulty sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a vaccine-related sequela.
The public text does not describe the first symptom, treatment course, imaging, therapy, injections, or residual limitations. The parties resolved the claim by joint stipulation.
On November 4, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded Ms. McNulty $20,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.
