Matt Pello v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On November 18, 2024, Matt Pello filed a petition alleging a left SIRVA after an influenza vaccination administered on December 10, 2022. He alleged that the vaccination occurred in the United States, that residual effects lasted more than six months, and that no civil action or prior compensation had resolved the claim.

Respondent conceded entitlement on May 23, 2025, stating that Mr. Pello’s alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that the other legal prerequisites were met.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran granted entitlement on May 23, 2025.

The public text in this batch does not include a damages decision or detailed treatment chronology, so the case remains at entitlement granted with damages still pending.
