Marcy Tavano v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On March 4, 2025, Marcy Tavano filed a petition, amended on April 10, 2025, alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 28, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Ms.

Tavano had no prior left-shoulder pain or dysfunction, that pain occurred within 48 hours, that pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, that no other condition explained the pain, and that residual effects lasted more than six months. The public documents do not describe the clinical course beyond those Table findings.

Chief Special Master Corcoran found entitlement on October 20, 2025. On November 20, 2025, he awarded $74,561.35, consisting of $70,000.00 for pain and suffering and $4,561.35 for past unreimbursable expenses.
