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

On June 20, 2024, Devin Hight filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 11, 2023 caused a Table shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. He alleged that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that residual effects lasted more than six months, and that he had not received prior compensation for the injury.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement, stating that Mr. Hight's alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that the legal prerequisites were satisfied.

The public entitlement and damages decisions do not describe the first symptom, onset narrative, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found entitlement on June 23, 2025. On November 4, 2025, he awarded $58,500.88: $57,500.00 for pain and suffering and $1,000.88 for past unreimbursable expenses, payable through counsel's IOLTA account.

Mr. Hight was represented by Kirk Otto and Kirk Tripp Otto of Rawls Law Group.
