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

On March 28, 2024, Stephanie Ervin filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on February 6, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that she sustained a Table SIRVA, and that residual effects lasted more than six months.

Respondent denied that Ms. Ervin sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that the flu vaccine caused her current condition or disabilities.

The public stipulation does not describe her symptom onset, shoulder findings, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. On October 22, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted it on October 27, 2025 and awarded Ms.

Ervin $60,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. She was represented by Laura Levenberg of Muller Brazil, LLP.
