The Special Master adopted the stipulation, awarding $70,000.00 as a lump sum for all damages. The stipulation does not detail the specific mechanism of injury or name any medical experts.

Petitioner alleged that the vaccination was administered within the United States, that she experienced residual effects of her alleged injuries for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages on her behalf. Respondent denied that Petitioner suffered a SIRVA Table injury and denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner to suffer from a left shoulder injury or any other injury or her current condition. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on December 11, 2019, agreeing to settle the issues between them. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision awarding damages. Pursuant to the stipulation, Ai Cordero was awarded a lump sum of $70,000.00, payable by check to Petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. This decision resolves liability and damages for the alleged SIRVA. Petitioner was represented by Ramon Rodriguez, III of Sands Anderson PC, and Respondent was represented by Christine Mary Becer of the U.S. Department of Justice.
