Kelly Decker filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 30, 2024, alleging injuries related to an influenza vaccine received on October 24, 2022. Petitioner claimed a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) with residual effects lasting more than six months, which is a condition listed on the Vaccine Injury Table.
