Ida Rothschild v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Ida Rothschild filed a petition for vaccine compensation on May 2, 2025, alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on November 7, 2023. She claimed her symptoms lasted for longer than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that her condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 30, 2025, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Ida Rothschild a lump sum of $25,000.00 for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. This amount is intended to compensate for her SIRVA and its residual effects.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, as SIRVA is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The stipulation also addresses future proceedings for attorney's fees and litigation costs.

The parties released the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from further claims related to this specific vaccination and alleged injury.
