He alleged that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination he received on October 6, 2015. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit. On January 12, 2017, the respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr. Raabe was entitled to compensation. The respondent determined that the alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA caused by the influenza vaccination, that no other cause for the injury was identified, that Mr. Raabe suffered residual effects for more than six months, and that all legal prerequisites for compensation were met. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a ruling on entitlement on January 13, 2017, finding Mr. Raabe entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on April 14, 2017, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, proposing an award of $80,000.00, stating that the petitioner agreed with this amount. Chief Special Master Dorsey reviewed the proffer and the record, and on December 8, 2017, issued a decision awarding Romeo Raabe a lump sum payment of $80,000.00, payable by check to him, as compensation for all damages. Petitioner was represented by Paul Brazil of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Debra Filteau Begley of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Paul R.
