She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on October 13, 2015.

Pursuant to the stipulation, Joan Fram was awarded a lump sum of $107,700.00, payable to her, representing compensation for all eligible damages. The decision was issued on April 17, 2019. Heather M.
