Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On May 27, 2025, Mitchell L. Katzman filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 15, 2022 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.
The public GovInfo text for the ruling is partly corrupted, but the readable portions show that respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report and concluded that Mr. Katzman's injury was consistent with Table SIRVA.
The ruling does not provide a treatment chronology, imaging, injections, therapy, or daily-life limitations. On February 2, 2026, Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran found Mr. Katzman entitled to compensation.
Damages had not yet been resolved in the public ruling.
