He alleged that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) caused-in-fact by his October 14, 2015 influenza vaccination. Mr. Casciano further alleged that he experienced residual effects of his injury for more than six months and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages as a result of his alleged injury. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused Mr. Casciano's alleged injury or any other condition. Nevertheless, on March 16, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Anthony Casciano was awarded a lump sum of $50,000.00, payable to him, as compensation for all items of damages. Petitioner's counsel was Nancy Routh Meyers of Ward Black Law, and respondent's counsel was Alexis B. Babcock 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":"Nancy Routh Meyers","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Ward Black Law","petitioner_attorney_location":"Greensboro, NC","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|nancy-meyers|","firm_canonical_key":"ward-black-law","package_title":"CASCIANO v.
