Daniel Behar Calzado v. HHS - HPV, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On September 19, 2024, Daniel Behar Calzado filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination administered on January 8, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Respondent conceded entitlement after reviewing the record.

The public ruling found the injury compensable under the Vaccine Injury Table or otherwise accepted respondent's concession and found the legal prerequisites for compensation satisfied. The public materials do not provide a fuller clinical chronology beyond the conceded criteria.

The concession accepted no prior shoulder problems, pain within forty-eight hours, symptoms limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and residual effects lasting more than six months. Entitlement was found on March 31, 2025.

On April 30, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran awarded $57,930.00 through counsel's IOLTA account.

The award consisted of $57,500.00 for pain and suffering and $430.00 for past unreimbursable expenses.
