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

On October 20, 2023, Beverly Lesnefsky filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 27, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged a Table SIRVA with residual effects lasting more than six months.

The public stipulation decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, treatment course, imaging, or expert evidence. Respondent denied that Ms.

Lesnefsky sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that any current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. The parties nevertheless filed a joint stipulation on October 9, 2025.

On October 10, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision.

Ms. Lesnefsky was awarded $47,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under Section 15(a).
