Darren Haimer v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On November 4, 2024, Darren Haimer filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 28, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. He alleged a Table SIRVA and residual effects lasting more than six months.
Respondent denied that Mr. Haimer sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu 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 case resolved by stipulation, so the public decision does not set out a treatment timeline, imaging, injections, therapy, or expert opinions. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran adopted the stipulation on June 2, 2025, and awarded a $7,500.00 lump sum payable through counsel's IOLTA account. A later attorney-fee decision did not alter the injury-compensation award.
