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

Kimberly Pino filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 26, 2026, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on October 24, 2023. She met the program's requirements, including that the vaccine was administered in the United States, her symptoms persisted for more than six months, and she had not received a prior award or settlement for this condition.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation, which the court found reasonable.

Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded Kimberly Pino a lump sum of $55,000.00 for all items of damages.
