Michael T. Wagner v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On October 18, 2024, Michael T. Wagner filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on or about October 24, 2022 caused shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.
Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Mr. Wagner's injury was consistent with Table SIRVA: no prior shoulder problem explained the presentation, pain began within forty-eight hours, pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injection shoulder, and residual effects lasted more than six months.
The public documents do not describe treatment visits, imaging, injections, therapy, work effects, or residual limitations. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found entitlement on May 7, 2025. On June 9, 2025, he awarded $52,000.00 for pain and suffering as a lump sum.
