Omaima Soub v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Omaima Soub filed a petition for compensation on December 26, 2024, alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine administered on April 18, 2023, caused her to suffer a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Petitioner stated she received the vaccine in the United States, suffered residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement.

Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the Tdap vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation for compensation.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded Omaima Soub $70,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages.
