She claimed to have suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), specifically subacromial bursitis, tendonitis, and impingement syndrome. The respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report on September 4, 2018, conceding that the petitioner's alleged injury was not consistent with SIRVA, but that her subacromial bursitis, tendonitis, and impingement syndrome were caused-in-fact by the flu vaccination. The respondent further stated that no other cause for the petitioner's injury had been identified and that medical records demonstrated residual effects for more than six months. Based on the respondent's concession, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a Ruling on Entitlement on September 5, 2018, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on October 9, 2018, the respondent filed a Proffer on Award of Compensation, stipulating to an award of $82,500.00 for pain and suffering. Petitioner agreed with this proffered award. Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a Decision Awarding Damages on December 6, 2018, awarding petitioner a lump sum payment of $82,500.00, payable to Bangone Thirakul, as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. Steven I. Kastner represented the petitioner, and Sarah Christina Duncan represented the respondent.
