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

On September 4, 2024, Maria Reynoso filed a petition alleging that influenza and hepatitis B vaccinations administered on November 8, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The proffer noted that she received the flu and hepatitis B vaccines in her left shoulder, a zoster vaccine in the left shoulder, and a COVID-19 vaccine in the right arm on the same day; zoster and COVID-19 were not covered vaccines under the Vaccine Injury Table.

Reynoso entitled to compensation on March 12, 2025. The public rulings do not describe her onset, imaging, injections, therapy, or daily limitations.

On March 31, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $70,160.36. The award consisted of $70,000.00 for pain and suffering and $160.36 payable jointly to Ms.

Reynoso and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for a Medicaid lien.
