She alleged that the flu shot caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration within the Vaccine Injury Table period, or alternatively caused a shoulder injury in fact, and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.\n\nRespondent denied that Ms. Vaughan's alleged SIRVA or its residual effects were caused by the flu vaccine, and denied that the vaccine caused any other injury or current condition. The public decision is a stipulation decision and does not describe her first shoulder symptom, onset interval, medical visits, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations.\n\nOn November 18, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted it on November 19, 2025 and awarded Ms. Vaughan $17,500.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. Ms. Vaughan was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
