Barbara Respo v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On June 20, 2024, Barbara Respo filed a petition alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination administered on September 1, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation identifies her as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent denied that Ms. Respo sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the Tdap vaccine caused her alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that the vaccine caused her current condition.

The public text does not describe onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or experts. On December 11, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded $38,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
