Jennifer Perrius v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On March 12, 2025, Jennifer Perrius filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on January 16, 2024 caused a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Ms.

Perrius satisfied the Table SIRVA criteria: she had no prior right-shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction that explained the post-vaccination findings; pain began within 48 hours; pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; no other condition better explained her symptoms; and residual effects lasted more than six months. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found entitlement on October 23, 2025. On January 6, 2026, he awarded $100,000.00 for pain and suffering and $603.84 in unreimbursed expenses, for a total lump sum of $100,603.84.
