On November 20, 2023, Jacky Kwong filed a petition alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccination on September 9, 2022. The stipulation also released claims connected to a COVID-19 vaccination administered the same date, including any Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program claim.

Respondent denied that Mr. Kwong sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu 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 provide the first symptom date, treatment chronology, imaging, therapy, injections, expert opinions, or a biological mechanism. The parties nevertheless resolved the claim by joint stipulation.

On May 2, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded $16,458.91 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
