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

On April 30, 2025, Dawn Peer filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 27, 2022 caused a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged that the vaccine was given in the United States, that the injury lasted more than six months, and that no other action or compensation had been received for the injury.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report. The concession stated that Ms.

Peer had no prior right-shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that pain occurred within forty-eight hours after an intramuscular vaccination; that pain and decreased range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; and that no other condition had been identified to explain the shoulder pain. Respondent also agreed that the residual effects lasted more than six months and that the legal prerequisites were met.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Ms.

Peer entitled to compensation on November 14, 2025. Damages remain pending.

Ms. Peer was represented by LeeAnne Pedrick of Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA.

Update: a decision awarding damages filed 2026-05-06 resolved the case for $110,819.
