She alleged that an influenza vaccination received on September 25, 2015, caused a left shoulder injury, specifically a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Ms. Booker stated that the vaccination occurred in the United States, that she experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that no civil action had been filed or other compensation received for the alleged vaccine-caused injury. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Booker's injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable. As a result, Ms. Booker was awarded a lump sum of $102,500.00, payable by check, as compensation for all items of damages available under § 15(a). The decision was issued on April 17, 2019. Petitioner was represented by Shealene Priscilla Mancuso of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Christine Mary Becer 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":"Brenda Booker","petitioner_attorney_name":"Shealene Priscilla Mancuso","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Muller Brazil, LLP","petitioner_attorney_location":"Dresher, PA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":"2026-05-05 23:45:30","attorney_canonical_keys":"|shealene-mancuso|","firm_canonical_key":"muller-brazil","package_title":"BOOKER v.
