Veta Wholey v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Veta Wholey filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 30, 2024, alleging a Table shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccination received on October 8, 2022. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged SIRVA or any other injury.

Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Veta Wholey a lump sum of $45,000.00 for all items of damages.

This amount represents compensation for her injury, and the case was resolved through this stipulation.
