Misty Fuller v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On September 28, 2023, Misty Fuller filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on January 20, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent denied that Ms.
Fuller sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a vaccine sequela. The public stipulation decision does not describe the first shoulder symptom, onset interval, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations.
On April 24, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded Ms.
Fuller $17,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. A later August 20, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
