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

On July 24, 2024, Walter Moore filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 19, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, agreeing that the record supported a Table SIRVA: no prior shoulder pain or dysfunction that would explain the injury, onset within forty-eight hours, pain and reduced range of motion limited to the vaccinated shoulder, no other condition that would explain the presentation, and residual symptoms lasting more than six months.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Mr.

Moore entitled to compensation on October 21, 2025. Damages remained to be determined, and the public ruling does not provide a detailed treatment chronology.
