Paige Crum v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On May 16, 2025, Paige Crum filed a petition alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination administered on June 29, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. She alleged residual effects lasting more than six months.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement, stating that Ms. Crum's alleged injury was consistent with Table SIRVA and that the statutory prerequisites were satisfied.

The public ruling does not describe the clinical story beyond those Table findings. On November 25, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found Ms.

Crum entitled to compensation. Damages remain pending.

Update: a decision awarding damages filed 2026-06-01 resolved the case for $55,298.
