Roberto Rivera v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On January 12, 2024, Roberto Rivera filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 11, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. He alleged that residual effects lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that Mr. Rivera sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The public stipulation does not describe onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional effects. On October 29, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted it on October 30, 2025 and awarded Mr.

Rivera $67,500.00 as a lump sum for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision text describes payment through counsel's IOLTA account, while the attached stipulation describes a check payable to Mr.

Rivera. Mr.

Rivera was represented by John Beaulieu of Siri & Glimstad, LLP.
