Naomi Tirado v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Naomi Tirado filed a petition for compensation on April 10, 2026, alleging that she suffered a Table injury, specifically shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), as a result of her influenza vaccine received on September 14, 2023. She stated that she received the vaccine in the United States, experienced residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement for her injury.

Respondent denied that Ms. Tirado sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the vaccine caused her injury.

Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on April 9, 2026, agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision, awarding Ms.

Tirado a lump sum of $105,837.00 for all items of damages. The award is to be paid through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
