Mr. Bove claimed residual effects from the injury for more than six months and stated there had been no prior award or settlement for damages. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, respondent, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Bove's alleged brachial neuritis or any other injury. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation on May 21, 2019. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Fred Bove was awarded a lump sum of $35,462.88, payable to him, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with the stipulation, unless a motion for review was filed. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses. Petitioner counsel was Shealene Priscilla Mancuso of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent counsel was Lara Ann Englund 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":"Fred Bove","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 23:45:29","attorney_canonical_keys":"|shealene-mancuso|","firm_canonical_key":"muller-brazil","package_title":"BOVE v.
