She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 13, 2015. Ms. Clark further claimed that she experienced residual effects of her condition for more than six months and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages on her behalf. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused petitioner's alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and further denied that her current disabilities were a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite the respondent's denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on May 16, 2019, agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation to be reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Carol Clark was awarded a lump sum of $82,500.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages available under § 15(a). The case proceeded as a Table claim. Petitioner was represented by Ronald Craig Homer of Conway, Homer, P.C., and respondent was represented by Mallori Browne Openchowski of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"Carol Clark","petitioner_attorney_name":"Ronald Craig Homer","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Conway, Homer, P.C.","petitioner_attorney_location":"Boston, MA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":"2026-05-05 23:45:26","attorney_canonical_keys":"|ronald-homer|","firm_canonical_key":"conway-homer","package_title":"CLARK v.
