Melanie Maghirang v. HHS - HPV, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On April 23, 2024, Melanie Maghirang filed a petition alleging that a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination administered on July 28, 2022, caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The Secretary denied that the HPV vaccine caused a Table SIRVA or any other compensable injury.

The public stipulation resolving the case does not describe the precise onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or long-term functional effects of the shoulder injury. On September 11, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation.

Ms. Maghirang was awarded $12,500.00 in a lump sum for all damages available under section 15(a), payable by ACH deposit to counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.

She was represented by Diana Lynn Stadelnikas.
