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

Wendy Tully filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 30, 2025, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) from an influenza vaccine received on October 18, 2023. She stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement for this injury.

Respondent denied that Ms. Tully sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 9, 2026, agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Ms.

Tully a lump sum of $43,864.28 for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). The award was to be paid through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
