Shari Smith-Jackson v. HHS - HPV, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On May 27, 2025, Shari Smith-Jackson filed a petition alleging that a human papillomavirus vaccine administered on April 29, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public ruling identifies her as an adult but does not state an exact age.

Respondent conceded entitlement on December 18, 2025, agreeing that the alleged injury was consistent with Table SIRVA and that all legal prerequisites for compensation were met. Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement that day.
