Petitioner: Judith Moran
Filed: 2024-01-26
Decided: 2026-02-04
Vaccine: influenza
Vaccination date: 2022-10-25
Condition: left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA)
Outcome: compensated
Award amount USD: 62160

AI-assisted case summary:
On January 26, 2024, Judith Moran filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 25, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.

The case centered on vaccine situs and whether the pain was limited to the vaccinated shoulder. Respondent initially argued that the vaccine record and the first reports did not support Table SIRVA, including because symptoms radiated beyond the shoulder. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran resolved the situs dispute in Ms. Moran's favor, finding the causal flu vaccine was likely administered in the left deltoid and that her pain and reduced range of motion satisfied the Table requirements.

Respondent later accepted compensation while preserving its position. On February 4, 2026, the Chief Special Master adopted the proffer and awarded $60,000.00 for pain and suffering plus $2,160.00 in unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $62,160.00.

Theory of causation field:
Influenza vaccine October 25, 2022 causing left SIRVA; adult, exact age not stated. COMPENSATED after situs/limited-pain dispute. Respondent first opposed, arguing right/left-site and radiation issues; SM found left deltoid vaccination and Table SIRVA, later damages $60,000 pain/suffering + $2,160 expenses = $62,160. Chief SM Brian H. Corcoran; petition January 26, 2024; final damages February 4, 2026.

FINDINGS OF FACT1
On January 26, 2024, Judith Moran filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”) from an influenza ("flu”) vaccine received on October 25, 2022.
Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of
Special Masters.
1 Because this unpublished Fact Ruling contains a reasoned explanation for the action in this case, I am
required to post it on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website in accordance with the E-
Government Act of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012) (Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic
Government Services). This means the Fact Ruling will be available to anyone with access to the
internet. In accordance with Vaccine Rule 18(b), petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact
medical or other information, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.
If, upon review, I agree that the identified material fits within this definition, I will redact such material from
public access.

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 2 of 8
For the reasons set forth below, I find the vaccination alleged as causal was likely
administered in Petitioner’s left deltoid. Furthermore, I also find that Petitioner’s injury was
limited to her vaccinated (left) shoulder.
I. Relevant Procedural History
On June 27, 2025, about 17 months after the case was initiated, Respondent filed
a Rule 4(c) Report arguing that Petitioner had not established entitlement to
compensation. ECF No. 35. Specifically, Respondent argued that Petitioner’s pain “was
not limited to the vaccinated shoulder… First, petitioner was vaccinated in the
contralateral arm as her vaccination. The vaccination record indicates petitioner was
vaccinated in her right deltoid… but her injury was in her left deltoid…” Respondent’s
Report at 5. Furthermore, Respondent argues that “even if petitioner was vaccinated in
the shoulder she claims, her first report of pain radiated outside her shoulder down her
elbow and into her chest. Ex. 6 at 10. For both reasons, the preponderant evidence
establishes that petitioner’s pain was outside her vaccinated shoulder.” Id.
On June 30, 2025, I issued a Scheduling Order stating that a fact hearing or
additional briefing was not necessary, and that I intended to issue a written fact finding to
resolve the issue of the identification of the arm of administration for the vaccination at
issue in this case, as well as determine whether Petitioner’s shoulder pain was limited to
the shoulder in which she received the vaccination. ECF No. 38. On July 8, 2025,
Petitioner filed a status report stating that both parties agreed that no additional evidence
would be submitted regarding these issues and requested that I issue the fact finding.
ECF No. 39. My ruling is set forth below.
II. Issues
The following issues are contested: (1) whether Petitioner received the vaccination
alleged as causal in her right or left arm; and (2) whether Petitioner’s pain and reduced
range of motion are limited to the shoulder in which the intramuscular vaccine as
administered as set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table and Qualifications and Aids to
Interpretation (“QAI”) for a Table SIRVA. 42 C.F.R. § 100.3(c)(10)(ii)-(iv) (pain and
reduced range of motion limited to the shoulder in which the intramuscular vaccine was
administered).
III. Authority
Pursuant to Vaccine Act Section 13(a)(1)(A), a petitioner must prove by a
preponderance of the evidence the matters required in the petition by Vaccine Act Section
2

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 3 of 8
11(c)(1). A special master must consider, but is not bound by, any diagnosis, conclusion,
judgment, test result, report, or summary concerning the nature, causation, and
aggravation of petitioner’s injury or illness that is contained in a medical record. Section
13(b)(1). The Federal Circuit has said that
Medical records, in general, warrant consideration as trustworthy evidence.
The records contain information supplied to or by health professionals to
facilitate diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. With proper
treatment hanging in the balance, accuracy has an extra premium. These
records are also generally contemporaneous to the medical events.
Cucuras v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 993 F.2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, where medical records are clear, consistent, and complete, they should be
afforded substantial weight. Lowrie v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., No. 03-1585V,
2005 WL 6117475, at *20 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. Dec. 12, 2005).
The Federal Circuit recently stressed, however, that records enjoy no automatic
presumption of accuracy, despite their “trustworthy” evidentiary character. Kirby v. Sec’y
of Health & Human Servs., 997 F.3d 1378, 1384 (Fed. Cir. 2021). Indeed, “medical
records may be incomplete or inaccurate.” Camery v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs.,
42 Fed. Cl. 381, 391 (1998); see also Lowrie, 2005 WL 6117475 at *19 (“written records
which are, themselves, inconsistent, should be accorded less deference than those which
are internally consistent”).
The Court has outlined four possible explanations for inconsistencies between
contemporaneously created medical records and later testimony: (1) a person’s failure to
recount to the medical professional everything that happened during the relevant time
period; (2) the medical professional’s failure to document everything reported to her or
him; (3) a person’s faulty recollection of the events when presenting testimony; or (4) a
person’s purposeful recounting of symptoms that did not exist. La Londe v. Sec’y of Health
& Human Servs., 110 Fed. Cl. 184, 203-04 (2013), aff’d, 746 F.3d 1335 (Fed. Cir. 2014).
Thus, medical records may be outweighed by testimony that is given later in time
that is “consistent, clear, cogent, and compelling.” Camery, 42 Fed. Cl. at 391 (citing
Blutstein v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., No. 90-2808, 1998 WL 408611, at *5 (Fed.
Cl. Spec. Mstr. June 30, 1998)). The credibility of the individual offering such testimony
must also be determined. Andreu v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 569 F.3d 1367,
1379 (Fed. Cir. 2009); Bradley v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 991 F.2d 1570, 1575
(Fed. Cir. 1993).
3

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 4 of 8
The special master is obligated to fully consider and compare not only the medical
records, testimony, but also all other “relevant and reliable evidence contained in the
record.” La Londe, 110 Fed. Cl. at 204 (citing Section 12(d)(3); Vaccine Rule 8); see also
Burns v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 3 F.3d 415, 417 (Fed. Cir. 1993) (holding that
it is within the special master’s discretion to determine whether to afford greater weight to
medical records or to other evidence, such as oral testimony surrounding the events in
question that was given at a later date, provided that such determination is rational). And
although later oral testimony that conflicts with medical records is less reliable as a
general matter, it is appropriate for a special master to credit a petitioner’s lay testimony
where is does not conflict with the contemporaneous records. Kirby, 997 F.3d at 1382-
84.
IV. Finding of Fact
A. Site of Vaccination
Based on a review of the entire record, including all medical records and affidavits,
and the arguments in Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report, I find that Petitioner’s October 25,
2022 flu vaccine was likely administered in her left arm, as she contends. The following
points are particularly relevant to that finding:
 Petitioner’s pre-vaccination medical records reveal no injuries,
inflammation, or dysfunction in either shoulder or arm. Ex. 2 at 4 – 6.
 Petitioner received the flu vaccine at CVS Pharmacy on October 25, 2022.
Ex. 3 at 9. The vaccine record states that the vaccine was administered into
Petitioner’s right deltoid. Id. In her sworn affidavit, however, Petitioner states
that she is “certain” she received the vaccination in her left shoulder. Ex. 1
at 2.
 That same day, Petitioner purports3 to have communicated by text to her
friend Jackie, stating that “Ron [Petitioner’s husband] and I got flu shots
today and I can barely move my left arm,” and she offers partially-dated
evidence of this communication. Ex. 4 at 1. The next day (October 26,
2022),4 Petitioner texted her friend Sharon, stating, “Ron and I went
yesterday afternoon, and both of our arms are so sore.” Ex. 5 at 1.
3 The year of this text is not confirmed in the copy of the message submitted.
4 The year of this text is not confirmed in the copy of the message submitted.
4

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 5 of 8
 On November 22, 2022, Petitioner saw orthopedist Dr. John Andrachuk and
reported left shoulder pain. Ex. 6 at 10. The notes from this visit state, “[s]he
complains of over 4 weeks of left shoulder pain. She said it started after she
had a flu shot. Since then, she had had a throbbing pain, which radiates
down the elbow and not the chest…” Id. Petitioner also reported difficulty
doing dips and pushups. Id. On examination, Petitioner had some pain on
palpation of the bicipital groove, normal active and passive range of motion,
4/5 abduction strength, no joint instability, and positive Neer, Hawkins,
Speed, and Yergason tests. Id. Petitioner’s left shoulder x-ray was normal,
so the orthopedist ordered an MRI as he suspected a rotator cuff tear. Id.
at 11. Dr. Andrachuk prescribed a Medrol Dosepak and instructed Petitioner
to follow up. Id.
 Petitioner underwent an MRI on December 4, 2022. Ex. 7 at 2. The MRI
demonstrated, “1. infraspinatus and mild supraspinatus tendinosis; no
evidence of rotator cuff tear or muscular atrophy; 2. subacromial subdeltoid
bursal effusion/bursitis. 3. acromioclavicular osteoarthritis.” Id.
 On December 13, 2022, Petitioner returned to review the result of her MRI
with Dr. Andrachuk. Ex. 6 at 28 - 30. Petitioner reported the Medrol pack
gave her “some improvement,” and that her range of motion had also
improved Id. at 29. Petitioner was diagnosed with bursitis and impingement
of the left shoulder. Id. at 29 – 30. Petitioner received a steroid injection and
a referral to physical therapy (“PT”). Id. at 30.
 Petitioner underwent an initial PT evaluation on January 6, 2023. Ex. 12 at
2. Petitioner “reported having a flu vaccination and shoulder pain began
right away.” Id. Pain was reported at a 5/10 at best and an 8/10 at worst. Id.
The pain was described as “throbbing, constant, worse in AM, aching, dull.”
Id. at 4. Physical examination showed a limited range of motion. Id.
Petitioner attended four PT sessions between January 6, and January 20,
2023. Id. at 3-11. At the last one, Petitioner’s was “educated on condition of
shoulder and treatments needed to improve. Patient declined and wanted
to discontinue treatment.” Id. at 11.
 On March 28, 2023, Petitioner returned to Dr. Andrachuk. Ex. 13 at 99.
Petitioner reported that she had done “quite well” after her cortisone
injection, but that her pain had returned, and PT was not particularly helpful.
Id. Petitioner described her left shoulder pain as “sharp in nature” primarily
lateral and anterior. Id. It was noted that the MRI showed no evidence of
5

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 6 of 8
any significant rotator cuff tear. Id. Petitioner received a second cortisone
injection at this visit. Id. at 100.
 Eight months later, on December 5, 2023, Petitioner returned to Dr.
Andrachuk’s office, for complaints of continuing left shoulder pain. Ex. 13 at
116. Petitioner reported no changes in symptoms since her last visit and
wanted to discuss her treatment options. Id. Physical examination showed
no tenderness, passive and active range of motion, rotator cuff strength was
5/5 and there was no joint instability. Id. at 117. Dr. Andrachuk
recommended that Petitioner try a different physical therapist with a focus
on rotator cuff conditioning. Id. He advised, however, that Petitioner may
need to move forward with a decompression procedure of her left shoulder.
Id.
 Petitioner began PT at One Point Physical Therapy on January 2, 2024. Ex.
14 at 3. Petitioner reported to the physical therapist that after she received
the flu shot in her left shoulder she began to experience “significant pain”
and “continued to notice pain for a few weeks after.” Id.
 Petitioner attended five PT sessions between January 2 and January 16,
2024. Ex. 14 at 3 – 16. At Petitioner’s last session on January 16, 2024, she
reported having “improvements” in her left shoulder. Id. at 16.
 Petitioner’s husband, Ron Huey, filed a sworn declaration on December 13,
2024. Ex. 17. Mr. Huey described how he and Petitioner went to the CVS
Pharmacy to receive their seasonal flu vaccination. Id. at 1. He described
that they were sitting in a small room with one chair for the person receiving
the vaccination and that the chair was “almost perfectly wedged into the
right angle where the walls met.” Id. He stated that due to the “logistics” of
the room and the positioning of the chair, the shot could only realistically be
administered into the person’s left arm. Id. After the vaccination, Mr. Huey
recalled that “these vaccine administrations were not normal” and that “the
vaccine administration hurt. This was totally out of the ordinary and different
from post-vaccine soreness.” Id. In the weeks following, Mr. Huey recalled
that his left shoulder pain decrease, but Petitioner’s pain continued and was
“intense.” Id. He recalled that Petitioner’s pain lasted several weeks before
she sought medical attention. Id. Mr. Huey stated that despite numerous
medical interventions for her left arm and shoulder, Petitioner continued to
suffer from pain, soreness, and functional limitations of her left shoulder. Id.
at 3.

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 7 of 8
Based on a review of the entire record, including the Petition, all medical records
and affidavits, and the arguments in Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report, I find that Petitioner’s
October 25, 2022 flu vaccine was more likely than not administered in her left arm, as she
contends.
Only the initial vaccination record indicates that Ms. Moran received the flu vaccine
to her right shoulder. Ex. 5 at 3; Ex. 2 at 2. All subsequent records document Ms. Moran’s
allegation that she received the flu vaccine to her left shoulder. And not a single record
(other than the aforementioned vaccination record) contradicts her assertion. See e.g.,
Ex. 6 at 10 (November 22, 2022, Petitioner complained to orthopedist of “over 4 weeks
of left shoulder pain”. On examination, Petitioner had positive Neer, Hawkins, Speed, and
Yergason impingement tests of the left shoulder); Ex. 7 at 2 (December 4, 2022, results
of left shoulder MRI); Ex. 6 at 30 (December 13, 2022, Petitioner received a steroid
injection to her left shoulder); Ex. 12 at 2-11 (Petitioner underwent 5 PT sessions for her
left shoulder from January 6 to January 20, 2023); Ex. 13 at 100 (On March 28, 2023,
Petitioner received a second steroid injection to her left shoulder); Ex. 14 at 3-16
(Petitioner attended five PT sessions for her left shoulder from January 2 to January 16,
2024).
Ms. Moran also submitted two text messages to her friends: one from the day of
vaccination, and the other from the day after, and in each she complained of left shoulder
pain from the flu vaccination. Ex. 4 at 1 (October 25, 2022, day of vaccination, Petitioner
texted her friend Jackie stating, “Ron and I got flu shots today and I can barely move my
left arm.”); Ex. 5 at 1 (October 26, 2022, one day post-vaccination, Petitioner texted her
friend Sharon stating, “Ron and I went yesterday afternoon, and both of our arms are so
sore.”). While this kind of evidence alone might not resolve the question, in this case it
corroborates contemporaneous record proof – and thus should not be rejected as
Respondent contends.
Thus, the overall medical records, coupled with Petitioner’s text messages and
witness affidavits, establish that Petitioner consistently and repeatedly reported to treaters
left shoulder pain that was caused by a flu vaccine received in that shoulder. This is
sufficient proof to overcome the contrary administration record (which lacks corroboration
on its own). The subsequent treatment records gain strength as well given their temporal
proximity to the date of vaccination. Otherwise, there is no reason to give the single record
of vaccine administration more weight simply because it came first, in the absence of
other evidence that corroborates it.
7

Case 1:24-vv-00117-UNJ Document 41 Filed 11/07/25 Page 8 of 8
B. Pain and Reduced Range of Motion Limited to Arm of Vaccination
To establish a Table SIRVA, a petitioner’s pain and reduced ROM must be limited
to the shoulder in which the vaccination alleged as causal was administered. 42 C.F.R. §
100.3(c)(10)(iii). Respondent argues that Petitioner received the flu vaccine to her right
shoulder, and thus, could not satisfy this criterion, but my resolution of the situs issue
removes that basis for objection.
Respondent also briefly argued that “even if petitioner was vaccinated in the
shoulder she claims, her first report of pain radiated outside her shoulder down her elbow
and into her chest.” Respondent’s report at 5, citing Ex. 6 at 10. But this is the only citation
in the record that Petitioner makes to pain outside the left shoulder area. In her treatment
records, Petitioner is only being treated for left shoulder pain and her PT was focused on
her left shoulder. Ex. 14 at 3-11. Thus, I find that Petitioner’s pain and reduced range of
motion was limited to her arm of vaccination, her left arm.
Given my findings of fact, Respondent should evaluate and provide his current
position regarding the merits of Petitioner’s case.
V. Scheduling Order
Accordingly, the following is ORDERED:
(1) By Tuesday, November 10, 2025, Petitioner shall file all updated medical
records.
(2) Respondent shall file, by no later than Monday, November 17, 2025, an
amended Rule 4(c) Report reflecting Respondent’s position in light of the
above fact-finding.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

RULING ON ENTITLEMENT1
On January 26, 2024, Judith Moran filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that alleges that she suffered a shoulder injury related
to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”), as a result of receiving a flu vaccine on October 25,
2022. Petition at 1. Petitioner further alleges that she suffered the residual effects of her
injury for more than six months. Petition at 3. The case was assigned to the Special
Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.
On October 7, 2025, I issued a Findings of Fact finding that “Petitioner’s October
25, 2022 flu vaccine was more likely than not administered in her left arm,” and

“Petitioner’s pain and reduced range of motion was limited to her arm of vaccination.”
ECF No. 40 at 7-8. On December 16, 2025, Respondent filed an Amended Rule 4(c)
report in which he states that he does not contest that Petitioner is entitled to
compensation in this case. Respondent’s Amended Rule 4(c) Report at 1. Specifically,
Respondent states that “while preserving his right to appeal the Chief Special Master’s
October 7, 2025 finding that petitioner received the flu vaccination in her left arm and that
her pain was limited to her vaccinated shoulder—respondent accepts these factual
findings for purposes of further proceedings before the Chief Special Master. Upon review
of Chief Special Master’s factual findings and medical record evidence submitted in this
case, DICP has concluded that petitioner suffered SIRVA related to her October 25, 2022
vaccination.” Id. at 4-5. Respondent further agrees that Petitioner suffered the residual
effects of her condition for more than six months and that based on the record as it now
stands, “Respondent does not dispute that petitioner has satisfied all legal prerequisites
for compensation under the Act.” Id.
In view of Respondent’s position and the evidence of record, I find that
Petitioner is entitled to compensation.

agrees with the proffered award. Id. Based on the record as a whole, I find that Petitioner
is entitled to an award as stated in the Proffer.
Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Proffer, I award Petitioner a lump
sum payment of $62,160.00 (consisting of $60,000.00 in pain and suffering and
$2,160.00, in past unreimbursable medical expenses), to be paid through an ACH
deposit to Petitioner’s counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to
Petitioner. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available
under Section 15(a).
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.3
IT IS SO ORDERED.
