Bryan Oden v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On September 4, 2024, Bryan Oden filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 22, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. He alleged a Table SIRVA, receipt of the vaccine in the United States, residual effects lasting more than six months, and no prior civil award or settlement for the injury.

Respondent denied that Mr. Oden sustained a Table SIRVA injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a vaccine-related sequela.

The case resolved through a stipulation, so the public decision does not give the detailed medical course, treatment, imaging, therapy, or expert analysis. On February 20, 2026, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded a lump sum of $82,000.00.
