Ms. Duft stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, her injury lasted longer than six months, and she had not filed any other civil action for her injuries. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged left SIRVA or any other injury, and further denied that her current disabilities were a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on August 27, 2018, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the court's decision. Jennifer Duft was awarded a lump sum of $100,000.00, payable to her, as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. Petitioner's counsel was Jeffrey S. Pop of Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates. Respondent's counsel was Glenn Alexander MacLeod of the U.S. Department of Justice.
