Robert Berg v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Robert Berg filed a petition on October 4, 2024, alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 16, 2023. He alleged a Table SIRVA with residual effects lasting for more than six months.

The public stipulation materials do not provide a detailed treatment history. Respondent denied that Mr.

Berg suffered a Table SIRVA, denied that the influenza vaccine caused any other injury, and denied that any current condition was a sequela of vaccination. The parties filed a joint stipulation on March 9, 2026.

Chief Special Master Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision of the Court that same day. Mr.

Berg was awarded a lump sum of $30,000.00 for all damages available under section 15(a), payable through counsel's IOLTA account. He was represented by John Beaulieu of Siri & Glimstad LLP in Louisville, Kentucky.
