Maria Del Rosario Mansilla Rojas v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On February 5, 2025, Maria Del Rosario Mansilla Rojas filed a petition seeking compensation for a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccination on October 11, 2023. The public entitlement decision is brief because the Secretary filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms.
Mansilla Rojas satisfied the Table SIRVA requirements. Respondent agreed that she had no history of left shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction before vaccination; that shoulder pain began within 48 hours; that her pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; that no other condition explained the symptoms; and that the residual effects lasted for more than six months.
On September 8, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Ms.
Mansilla Rojas entitled to compensation. The decision resolved entitlement only, so damages remained to be determined.
She was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop of Beverly Hills, California.
