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

On April 10, 2025, Stacy Bennett filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 7, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that the shot was administered in the United States, that residual effects lasted more than six months, and that she had not received another award or settlement for the injury.

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

The public stipulation does not describe the first symptom, onset interval, treatment course, imaging, injections, therapy, or daily-life limitations. On November 13, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted it on November 14, 2025 and awarded Ms.

Bennett $47,500.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. She was represented by Laura Levenberg of Muller Brazil, LLP.
