Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On March 7, 2025, Roberta Fox-Mable filed a petition alleging a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after a Tdap vaccination on May 2, 2022. The public entitlement ruling does not give her exact age or describe her treatment course, but it presents the claim as an adult petition filed in her own name.
Respondent conceded entitlement on September 26, 2025. The concession stated that Ms.
Fox-Mable had no prior left shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that shoulder pain occurred within 48 hours after vaccination; that pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; that no other condition explained her symptoms; and that the residual effects lasted more than six months. On September 30, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.
