She represented that the vaccination was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that no civil action or prior award had resolved the alleged injury.
Respondent denied that Ms. DelCorro sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused or significantly aggravated her shoulder condition or any other injury, denied that residual effects lasted more than six months, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.
The public stipulation does not provide a detailed clinical chronology. Despite respondent’s denials, the parties agreed to resolve the matter.
On May 29, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded Ms.
DelCorro $10,000.00 as a lump sum for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
