Timothy Richert v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury (2026)

Timothy Richert filed a petition on September 19, 2024, and an amended petition on December 17, 2024, alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 26, 2021, caused a Table shoulder injury. Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report arguing that Mr.

Richert had not satisfied the statutory severity requirement and had not proven a Table SIRVA injury. The public dismissal decision does not describe his treatment course in detail.

After further investigation, Mr. Richert moved on February 25, 2026, for a decision dismissing the petition.

Chief Special Master Corcoran dismissed the case on March 4, 2026, for insufficient proof. No vaccine-injury compensation was awarded.

Mr. Richert was represented by Ramon Rodriguez III of Siri & Glimstad LLP in New York, New York.
