Mary Stockwell v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On October 2, 2023, Mary Stockwell filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 28, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement on August 19, 2024, agreeing that the case was appropriate for compensation as a Table SIRVA.
Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Ms.
Stockwell entitled to compensation on August 20, 2024. The public record does not describe her first symptom, onset interval, shoulder examinations, imaging, injections, therapy, work effects, or daily-life limits.
On January 8, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $90,760.00 as a lump sum payable to Ms. Stockwell.
The award consisted of $90,000.00 for pain and suffering and $760.00 for past unreimbursable expenses. The proffer identified Ms.
Stockwell as a competent adult. A later August 13, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
