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

On July 22, 2024, Cassandra Ziegler filed a petition alleging SIRVA after an influenza vaccination administered on October 10, 2022. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, and Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on March 27, 2025.

The public proffer does not narrate her treatment course, imaging, injections, or therapy. Respondent proffered $61,178.23, and Ms.

Ziegler agreed. On May 21, 2025, the Special Master awarded $60,000.00 for pain and suffering and $1,178.23 for past unreimbursable expenses, payable as a lump sum through counsel.

A later fee/cost decision was separate from the injury award.
