Jeanette Stancarone filed a petition for compensation on August 19, 2015, alleging a left shoulder injury following an influenza vaccination on October 6, 2014. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

On March 4, 2016, the respondent conceded that the alleged injury was consistent with a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and that it was caused in fact by the influenza vaccine. The respondent also agreed that no other cause was identified and that petitioner met all legal prerequisites for compensation.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 7, 2016, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. On September 6, 2016, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, stating that petitioner should be awarded $110,000.00 and that petitioner agreed with this amount.

The decision dated November 2, 2016, awarded Jeanette Stancarone a lump sum payment of $110,000.00 for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
