Becky Dorris v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On May 30, 2025, Becky Dorris filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on September 12, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The public entitlement ruling identifies her as an adult petitioner but does not state her exact age.
Respondent conceded entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found on November 14, 2025 that Ms.
Dorris had established a compensable SIRVA claim. The short public ruling does not provide a detailed clinical chronology beyond the conceded criteria.
Damages had not yet been awarded in the public staged text reviewed, so the case stood as entitlement granted with compensation still pending.
Theory of causation
Adult petitioner; influenza vaccine September 12, 2023; SIRVA. ENTITLEMENT GRANTED; damages pending. Respondent conceded entitlement. Public ruling lacks detailed onset/treatment chronology beyond the concession. CSM Corcoran November 14, 2025. Petition filed May 30, 2025.
