Cyriel Boatwright v. HHS - HPV, bilateral shoulder injuries related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On December 15, 2023, Trina Randall filed a petition on behalf of her then-minor child, Cyriel Boatwright, seeking compensation for shoulder injuries after vaccinations administered on October 31, 2022. The stipulation states that Cyriel alleged a right-shoulder SIRVA after meningococcal conjugate and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, and a left-shoulder SIRVA after a meningococcal B vaccine.

The caption was later amended after Cyriel reached the age of majority. Respondent denied that Cyriel sustained a SIRVA Table injury in either shoulder, denied vaccine causation or significant aggravation, denied that residual effects lasted more than six months, and denied that the current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The public stipulation does not provide a detailed treatment chronology. It records a compromise settlement resolving the disputed claim.

On June 10, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded $54,999.99.

The award consisted of $53,010.44 paid through counsel for Cyriel’s benefit and $1,989.56 paid jointly to Cyriel and the Georgia Department of Community Health to satisfy a Medicaid lien.
