Joel Pratt v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On August 30, 2024, Joel Pratt filed a petition alleging a Table SIRVA after receiving Tdap and hepatitis A/B (Twinrix) vaccinations on July 2, 2023. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, and Chief Special Master Corcoran found him entitled to compensation on May 13, 2025.

The public proffer does not describe the specific injection site, first symptom, treatment course, diagnostic imaging, or expert opinions. Respondent proffered $61,597.89, and Mr.

Pratt agreed. The award consisted of $60,500.00 for pain and suffering and $1,097.89 for past unreimbursable expenses, payable as a lump sum through counsel.

A later fee decision awarded attorney fees and costs separately, but those amounts were not injury compensation.
