Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]

On January 31, 2025, Stacey Wright filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 11, 2023 caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She also received a COVID-19 vaccine that day, but the stipulation made clear that COVID-19 vaccine claims are outside the Vaccine Program and that Ms.

Wright waived any separate COVID-19 countermeasure claim in connection with the same injury. Respondent conceded that Ms.

Wright was entitled to compensation for Table SIRVA after the flu shot, and Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on August 18, 2025. The public documents do not describe the clinical chronology beyond the Table criteria.

On November 20, 2025, the Chief Special Master adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded $52,671.62 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
