Cecil filed a petition for compensation on October 14, 2016, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 17, 2013. She claimed the vaccination was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects of her injury for more than six months, and that no prior award or settlement had been made for her condition. The respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused petitioner's right shoulder pain or any other injury. The parties later filed a joint stipulation for damages on July 2, 2018, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Carolyn E. Cecil was awarded a lump sum of $35,052.13, payable by check to the petitioner, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was issued on October 10, 2018. Petitioner was represented by Paul Thomas Walkinshaw of Rawls Law Group, and respondent was represented by Sarah Christina Duncan of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert testimony.","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 Thomas Walkinshaw","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Rawls Law Group","petitioner_attorney_location":"Fairfax, VA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|paul-walkinshaw|","firm_canonical_key":"rawls-law-group","package_title":"CECIL v.
