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

On February 13, 2025, Josh Cook filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 25, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public ruling identifies him as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report filed December 15, 2025, agreeing that the alleged injury was consistent with Table SIRVA and that Mr. Cook had satisfied the legal prerequisites for compensation.

Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on December 16, 2025. The public text does not describe onset, medical treatment, imaging, injections, physical therapy, or daily limitations.

Damages remained pending in the reviewed public text. Update: a decision on damages filed 2026-03-23 resolved the case for $61,871.
