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

On September 20, 2023, Debora Strader filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on March 7, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in January 2025, agreeing that Ms.

Strader's injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that the legal requirements for compensation had been met. The public entitlement and damages documents do not describe the first symptom, medical visits, imaging, injections, therapy, or residual limitations.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found entitlement on January 27, 2025.

On August 12, 2025, he adopted respondent's damages proffer and awarded $67,500.00 for pain and suffering, $20,375.25 in past lost wages, and $486.40 to satisfy a California Medicaid lien, for a total of $88,361.65.
