Carol Terrill v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On January 8, 2025, Ginger Terrill, as personal representative of the estate of Carol Terrill, filed a petition alleging that Carol Terrill suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccination on or about October 20, 2022. The petition alleged a Table SIRVA and residual effects lasting more than six months.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report. The concession stated that Ms.

Terrill had no prior right-shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that pain occurred within forty-eight hours of an intramuscular vaccination; that pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; and that no other condition explained the shoulder pain. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found entitlement on October 23, 2025. The public damages proffer does not include a detailed clinical timeline beyond the SIRVA elements.

On March 13, 2026, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded $110,000.00 for Carol Terrill's pain and suffering, payable through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Ginger Terrill as personal representative of the estate.
