Kadri Limani v. HHS - DTaP, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On January 4, 2024, Kadri Limani filed a petition as father and natural guardian of A.L., a minor. The petition alleged that A.L. suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving a diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccination on November 22, 2022.

The public decision identifies A.L. as a minor but does not state the child's exact age. Respondent denied that the DTaP vaccine caused A.L.'s alleged injury or current condition.

The parties nevertheless filed a joint stipulation. The public stipulation does not describe the onset, treatment, imaging, or therapy history, but states that A.L. experienced residual effects for more than six months and that no civil action award or settlement had compensated the injury.

On August 15, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation.

The award funds an annuity contract for A.L.'s benefit at a cost of $20,000, with scheduled payments of $15,410.39 on April 20, 2036 and $15,480.12 on May 20, 2036, subject to adjustment so the annuity cost does not exceed $20,000. A.L. was represented by Bruce W.
