Travis A. Curtis v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On July 12, 2024, Travis A. Curtis filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 24, 2022 caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.

He alleged a Table SIRVA and residual effects lasting more than six months. Respondent conceded entitlement on March 21, 2025, stating that the injury was consistent with the Table definition of SIRVA: no history of left-shoulder pain or dysfunction, pain within forty-eight hours of vaccination, pain and reduced range of motion limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition identified to explain the shoulder pain.

Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on April 15, 2025. The public ruling does not describe treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations.

No damages decision or vaccine-injury compensation award was present in the public text reviewed for this update.
