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

On July 29, 2025, Cherisse Weekly filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on January 18, 2024 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. The case was handled in the Special Processing Unit.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a combined Rule 4(c) report and proffer. The public record does not provide a detailed treatment chronology, but the concession accepted the claim as compensable SIRVA.

On February 10, 2026, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the proffer and awarded Ms.

Weekly a lump sum of $80,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. Payment was directed through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
