Karen Mangold v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Karen Mangold filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine administered on November 19, 2021. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA or any other injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. The stipulation stated that the Tdap vaccine is on the Vaccine Injury Table and that Ms.

Mangold experienced residual effects for more than six months. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Ms.

Mangold a lump sum of $27,500.00 for all items of damages.
