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

Angel Acevedo filed a petition on July 26, 2024, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccine on September 26, 2023. He alleged a Table SIRVA and residual effects lasting more than six months.

The public stipulation does not describe Mr. Acevedo's medical treatment course in detail.

Respondent denied that he sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that any current condition was vaccine-related. The parties filed a joint stipulation on December 9, 2025, and Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted it on December 11, 2025.

Mr. Acevedo received a lump-sum award of $48,000.00 for all damages available under section 15(a), payable through counsel's IOLTA account.

A later March 2026 decision concerned attorney fees and costs only. Mr.

Acevedo was represented by Joseph P. Shannon of Shannon Law Group in Woodridge, Illinois.
