Maryalice Omokeye Moses v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On May 27, 2025, Maryalice Omokeye Moses filed a petition seeking compensation for a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving an influenza vaccine on August 16, 2024. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report.
The concession stated that Ms. Moses had no prior right shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that her shoulder pain began within 48 hours after vaccination; that her pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injected shoulder; and that no other condition explained the shoulder pain.
Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found entitlement on November 18, 2025.
On February 20, 2026, he adopted the parties' proffer and awarded Ms. Moses $43,000.00 for pain and suffering.
The award was payable through counsel's IOLTA account, and because Ms. Moses was a competent adult, no guardianship proof was required.
She was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop of Jeffrey S.
