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

On March 10, 2025, Kristy Sheffler filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 15, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public stipulation identifies her as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent denied that Ms. Sheffler sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was vaccine-related.

The public text does not describe onset, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. On December 11, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded $25,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
