Darryl Ayers v. HHS - Hepatitis B, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On April 16, 2025, Darryl Ayers filed a petition alleging that a hepatitis B vaccine administered on March 29, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public ruling identifies him as an adult petitioner but does not state his exact age.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report filed October 21, 2025. The concession accepted that Mr.

Ayers had established a compensable SIRVA. The public ruling is brief and does not provide the underlying clinical timeline, onset description, treatment course, or residual limitations.

On November 3, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found Mr. Ayers entitled to compensation.

Damages remained to be determined.
