RULING ON ENTITLEMENT1
On February 4, 2025, Terrelle D. Oliver filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”) resulting from an influenza vaccine received on or about
November 2, 2023. Petition at 1. Petitioner further alleges that the vaccine was
administered in the United States, he suffered residual effects of his injury for more than
six months, and he has not received compensation in the form of an award or settlement
for his vaccine-related injuries, nor has he filed a civil action for his injuries prior to filing
this Petition. Petition at preamble, ¶¶ 34, 38. The case was assigned to the Special
Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.
1 Because this Ruling contains a reasoned explanation for the action taken in this case, it must be made
publicly accessible and will be posted on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, and/or
at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/uscourts/national/cofc, in accordance with the E-Government
Act of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2018) (Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic Government
Services). This means the Ruling will be available to anyone with access to the internet. In accordance
with Vaccine Rule 18(b), Petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other information,
the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, I agree that
the identified material fits within this definition, I will redact such material from public access.

Case 1:25-vv-00206-UNJ Document 23 Filed 10/28/25 Page 2 of 2
On September 25, 2025, Respondent filed his Rule 4(c) report in which he
concedes that Petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case. Respondent’s Rule 4(c)
Report at 1. Specifically, Respondent agrees that Petitioner’s alleged injury is consistent
with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table in that “petitioner had no history of
pain, inflammation, or dysfunction of his left shoulder prior to vaccination; pain occurred
within forty-eight hours after receipt of an intramuscular vaccination; pain and reduced
range of motion [were] limited to the shoulder in which the vaccine was administered; and
no other condition or abnormality has been identified to explain petitioner’s shoulder pain.”
Id. at 5. Respondent further agrees that the records indicate that Petitioner suffered the
residual effects of his condition for more than six months, and has satisfied all legal
prerequisites for compensation under the Vaccine Act. Id.
In view of Respondent’s position and the evidence of record, I find that
Petitioner is entitled to compensation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
