Clarence Peacock v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2024)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On November 20, 2023, Clarence Peacock filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 24, 2020 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report.
The concession stated that Mr. Peacock had no prior pain, inflammation, or dysfunction in the vaccinated shoulder, that pain occurred within forty-eight hours after intramuscular vaccination, that the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, that no other condition explained the presentation, and that residual effects lasted more than six months.
Special Master Katherine E. Oler found entitlement on June 17, 2024.
On September 6, 2024, Special Master Jennifer A. Shah awarded $100,785.71 as a lump sum payable to Mr.
Peacock for all damages. The public text does not provide a fuller treatment chronology beyond the Table criteria.
A later July 30, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
