Bethel Boeder v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

On June 20, 2025, Bethel Boeder filed a petition alleging that a tetanus vaccine administered on February 9, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report filed January 5, 2026.

The concession stated that Ms. Boeder's injury was consistent with Table SIRVA, including no prior shoulder problem, pain within the required timeframe, pain limited to the vaccinated shoulder, no alternative abnormality explaining the symptoms, and the required duration.

The short public ruling does not describe the treatment course. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found Ms. Boeder entitled to compensation on January 12, 2026.

Damages remained pending.
