Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On September 11, 2024, Amy Scrivener filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 8, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a March 17, 2025 Rule 4(c) report, stating that Ms.
Scrivener's injury was consistent with a SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found entitlement on April 16, 2025. The public rulings do not describe onset, imaging, injections, therapy, or specific functional limits.
On June 10, 2025, the Chief Special Master adopted respondent's proffer and awarded $82,500.00 for pain and suffering. A later January 2026 fee decision concerned attorneys' fees and costs only.
