Cecilia Beltran v. HHS - Meningococcal, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On February 4, 2025, Cecilia Beltran filed a petition alleging that a meningococcal group B vaccine, Bexsero, administered on September 28, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public materials identify her as a competent adult petitioner.

Respondent conceded entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found on September 9, 2025 that Ms.

Beltran was entitled to compensation. The public documents do not provide a fuller clinical chronology beyond the conceded SIRVA criteria.

On November 12, 2025, the Chief Special Master awarded $50,000.00 for actual pain and suffering. No separate award for expenses, lost wages, or future damages was included in the public decision reviewed.
