Patricia Pervenanze v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On October 29, 2024, Patricia Pervenanze filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 10, 2021 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in an April 23, 2025 Rule 4(c) report, and Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found entitlement on May 19, 2025. The public rulings establish the vaccine, conceded Table SIRVA, and damages award, but they do not set out a detailed treatment course, imaging results, injections, therapy, or daily limitations.
On July 25, 2025, the Chief Special Master adopted respondent's proffer and awarded $165,000.00 for past pain and suffering plus $3,961.96 in past unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $168,961.96. A later fee decision concerned attorneys' fees and costs only.
