Jennifer Camacho v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

Jennifer Camacho filed a petition on October 21, 2024, alleging that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 31, 2023. She alleged a Table SIRVA and residual effects lasting more than six months.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, stating that Ms. Camacho's injury was consistent with a left-sided SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that the legal prerequisites were satisfied.

Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on August 22, 2025. Damages were awarded on October 24, 2025.

Ms. Camacho received $48,000.00 for pain and suffering and $1,135.04 for past unreimbursable expenses, for a total award of $49,135.04.

Payment was directed as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account. A later March 2026 decision concerned attorney fees and costs only.

Ms. Camacho was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V.
