Derek Clark filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that he suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on November 15, 2016. The respondent conceded that Mr.

Clark is entitled to compensation, as his condition met the criteria for SIRVA on the Vaccine Injury Table. The respondent further agreed that Mr.

Clark suffered residual effects for more than six months, satisfying all legal prerequisites for compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on February 27, 2019, finding Mr.

Clark entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on March 27, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $57,239.95, which included $52,500.00 for pain and suffering and $4,739.95 for past unreimbursable expenses.

Mr. Clark agreed with this proffered award.

The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Mr. Clark a lump sum payment of $57,239.95.
