Daniel Weihert v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On November 1, 2024, Daniel Weihert filed a petition seeking compensation under the Vaccine Act. He alleged that an influenza vaccine administered in his right arm on October 10, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.

The public stipulation provides limited clinical detail. It does not describe the exact onset, medical visits, examination findings, imaging, injections, physical therapy, surgery, or work limitations.

It does show that respondent denied that Mr. Weihert sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.

The parties filed a joint stipulation on March 17, 2026. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision the same day. The award included two payments totaling $58,334.60: $50,000.00 payable through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Mr.

Weihert, and $8,334.60 for satisfaction of a Carelon Insights, LLC Medicaid lien. The stipulation reserved attorneys' fees and costs for separate proceedings.

Mr. Weihert was represented by Ronald Craig Homer of Conway Homer, P.C.
