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

Tina Rogers filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on June 14, 2024, alleging injury from an influenza vaccine received on November 14, 2022. The vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.

Rogers claimed she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) within the Table's timeframe and experienced residual effects for over six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Rogers sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her condition.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Rogers a lump sum of $42,014.04.

This amount is intended to cover all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision notes that the parties will submit to further proceedings to award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

The stipulation releases the United States and the Secretary from further claims related to this specific vaccination.
