Ricardo Bush v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On October 12, 2023, Ricardo Bush filed a petition alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination administered on August 20, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration within the Table period. He alleged residual effects lasting more than six months.

Respondent denied that Mr. Bush sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the Tdap vaccine caused his shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The public stipulation does not describe his first symptom, clinical visits, imaging, therapy, injections, or expert opinions. On April 15, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation, and Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded $63,500.00 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
