Stephanie D. Tillery v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2026)

Stephanie D. Tillery filed a petition on July 31, 2025, alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after receiving a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine on April 29, 2024.

She alleged a Table SIRVA with residual effects lasting for more than six months. Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report on March 12, 2026, conceding entitlement.

The report stated that Division of Injury Compensation Programs review supported left SIRVA: no prior left-shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; shoulder pain beginning within 48 hours after the intramuscular Td vaccination; pain and reduced range of motion limited to the vaccinated shoulder; no alternative cause; and residual effects for more than six months. The public entitlement decision does not provide an extended treatment chronology beyond those Table findings.

Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on March 13, 2026. Damages had not yet been awarded in the public record reviewed for this update.

Ms. Tillery was represented by Ramon Rodriguez III of Siri & Glimstad LLP in New York, New York.
