He also alleged, in the alternative, some form of neurological syndrome or physical injury caused by the vaccination. Mr. Vine stated that he received the vaccination in the United States, suffered residual effects for more than six months, and had not received any award or settlement for his alleged vaccine-caused injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on January 17, 2018, conceding that Mr. Vine was entitled to compensation. The respondent specifically agreed that Mr. Vine suffered a left SIRVA injury as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a Ruling on Entitlement on January 19, 2018, finding Mr. Vine entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on June 4, 2018, the parties submitted a joint proffer on the award of compensation. The respondent proffered that Mr. Vine should be awarded $90,000.00 for pain and suffering, representing all elements of compensation available under the Act, and stated that Mr. Vine agreed with this proffered award. Chief Special Master Dorsey accepted this proffer and awarded Mr. Vine a lump sum payment of $90,000.00, payable by check to Julius Vine. This decision was issued on September 12, 2018. Petitioner was represented by Michael Avrim Firestone and Marvin Firestone, MD, JD and Associates, and respondent was represented by Lisa Ann Watts 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":"Michael Avrim Firestone","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Marvin Firestone, MD, JD and Associates","petitioner_attorney_location":"San Mateo, CA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|michael-firestone|","firm_canonical_key":"marvin-firestone-and-associates","package_title":"VINE v.
