She also received a Tdap vaccine in the opposite deltoid that day, but she did not seek compensation for that injection.\n\nRespondent conceded entitlement for the flu-related SIRVA in June 2024, but the parties could not resolve damages. The damages decision described a mild SIRVA that resolved in about eight months. Ms. Bruxvoort reported bilateral shoulder pain at her first post-vaccination visit, but the compensable claim was tied to the flu shot. Her treatment included three cortisone injections and eighteen physical therapy sessions. She requested more compensation, including expenses for a primary-care visit on the vaccination date and CryoSpa visits, while respondent argued for a lower amount and challenged whether those expenses were sufficiently tied to SIRVA treatment.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran awarded damages on August 14, 2025. He awarded $65,000.00 for pain and suffering and $61.27 in mileage reimbursement, for a total of $65,061.27, and declined the other claimed expense items.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
