ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The defendants made a prima facie showing that they did not depart from accepted medical standards in administering an influenza vaccine to the plaintiff Sylvia Barich and that the injection did not cause her injuries (see, Alicea v. Tuerk, 271 A.D.2d 557; Crisci v. Rastogi, 266 A.D.2d 335). The conclusory allegations of the plaintiffs' medical expert were unsupported by any competent evidence in the record and was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact (see, Rodney v. North Shore Univ. Hosp., A.D.2d [2d Dept., Aug. 13, 2001]; Fhima v. Maimonides Med. Ctr., 269 A.D.2d 559; James v. Crystal, 267 A.D.2d 429).

SANTUCCI, J.P., FLORIO, H. MILLER and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
