On April 15, 2025, Sally Davidson filed a petition alleging that a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV20, administered on March 12, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She was identified in the public materials as a competent adult petitioner.

Respondent conceded entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found on November 12, 2025 that Ms.
