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

On June 20, 2024, Margaret Brown filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 16, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation identifies her as an adult petitioner but does not provide her exact age.

Respondent denied that Ms. Brown sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a vaccine-related sequela.

The public stipulation does not describe her first shoulder symptom, treatment course, imaging, injections, therapy, or residual limitations. The parties nevertheless resolved the claim by joint stipulation.

On November 7, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded Ms.

Brown $80,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
