Josh Neaf v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)

On May 5, 2025, Josh Neaf filed a petition alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination administered on May 2, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public ruling identifies him as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr. Neaf was entitled to compensation.

The public ruling does not describe the first symptom, onset interval, medical visits, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. On December 16, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran accepted respondent's concession and found Mr.

Neaf entitled to compensation for Table SIRVA. Damages remain for later resolution.
