The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that petitioner's claim met the Table criteria for SIRVA and that she was entitled to compensation. The respondent agreed that the petitioner had no prior history of shoulder issues that would explain the symptoms, that the onset of pain likely occurred within 48 hours of the vaccine, that symptoms were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and that no other condition explained the symptoms. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a ruling on entitlement on April 10, 2019, finding Ms. Eedy entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on September 3, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation, proposing an award of $125,897.30. The petitioner agreed to this amount. On November 18, 2019, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a decision awarding Becky Eedy a lump sum payment of $125,897.30, payable by check to Ms. Eedy. This award represents compensation for all damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). Petitioner was represented by Maximillian J. Muller of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Glenn Alexander MacLeod of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset, symptoms, diagnostic studies, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"Becky Eedy","petitioner_attorney_name":"Maximillian J.
