Mickie Lowe v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On November 13, 2023, Mickie Lowe filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 6, 2021 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found Ms. Lowe entitled to compensation on August 13, 2024.
The public entitlement ruling and damages proffer do not describe her initial pain, examinations, imaging, injections, therapy, or limits on work and daily activities. On January 13, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded damages based on respondent's proffer.
Ms. Lowe received $97,661.32 as a lump sum: $97,500.00 for pain and suffering and $161.32 for unreimbursable expenses.
A later October 30, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
