Jesus Villahermosa v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury (2025)

Jesus Villahermosa filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 18, 2025, alleging he suffered a shoulder injury from an influenza vaccine received on October 13, 2020. He claimed this was an on-Table injury.

However, Mr. Villahermosa did not submit any supporting medical records or documentation with his petition.

The court ordered him to file additional required documents, but he failed to do so. Subsequently, on February 14, 2025, Mr.

Villahermosa filed a motion to dismiss his own petition, stating that an investigation of the facts and science demonstrated he would be unable to prove entitlement to compensation. He understood that this dismissal would result in a judgment against him and end his rights in the program.

Chief Special Master Corcoran granted the motion, dismissing the case for insufficient proof, as Mr. Villahermosa failed to establish entitlement and admitted he could not prove his case.
