She subsequently developed a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The respondent conceded that this was a Table injury and that petitioner met all legal prerequisites for compensation. The parties resolved damages through written briefing. Petitioner sought $94,950.00, while respondent contended $55,000.00 was reasonable. The Special Master, Nora Beth Dorsey, reviewed the medical records, which indicated pain starting approximately two weeks post-vaccination, rated 9/10 at worst, with mild limitations in range of motion. Treatment included a steroid injection and physical therapy, leading to significant improvement over several months, though some stiffness and limited range of motion persisted. MRI findings showed mild tendinosis and degenerative changes without a rotator cuff tear. The Special Master awarded $75,000.00 for past pain and suffering, finding the condition less severe and of shorter duration than cases warranting higher awards, and found insufficient evidence for future pain and suffering. The decision was issued on June 5, 2019. Petitioner's counsel was Shealene Priscilla Mancuso of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent's counsel was Voris Edward Johnson of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2017-12-06","case_summary":"Keri Anne Bordelon filed a petition for compensation on December 6, 2017, alleging that she suffered a right shoulder injury, known as Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), as a result of her influenza vaccination on October 4, 2016.
