Leah Leynor v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On December 3, 2024, Leah Leynor filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 22, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a May 2, 2025 Rule 4(c) report, stating that the alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found entitlement that same day.

The public rulings do not provide a detailed account of onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or function. On October 22, 2025, the Chief Special Master adopted respondent's proffer and awarded $50,000.00 in pain and suffering plus $1,919.35 in past unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $51,919.35.
