Diana Bair v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On December 20, 2023, Diana Bair filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 19, 2022 caused a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that residual effects lasted for more than six months.

Respondent conceded entitlement on September 20, 2024, agreeing that the injury was consistent with Table SIRVA and that the record satisfied the legal prerequisites. Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on September 23, 2024.

The public damages decision does not describe Ms. Bair's symptom onset narrative, treatment course, imaging, injections, physical therapy, or daily limitations.

Damages were resolved by proffer. On April 15, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $95,228.54 as a lump sum through counsel, consisting of $95,000.00 for pain and suffering and $228.54 for past unreimbursable expenses.

A later fee decision was separate from the injury compensation.
