The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged shoulder injuries or any sequelae. The parties reached a settlement via stipulation, agreeing to award compensation. The public text indicates the case falls under the \"Table\" for SIRVA, but does not detail the specific mechanism, expert testimony, or clinical findings. The stipulation resulted in an award of $91,800.00 to the petitioner for all damages. The decision was made by Special Master Katherine E. Oler on January 20, 2022, based on the joint stipulation. Petitioner's counsel was Joseph A. Vuckovich of Maglio, Christopher & Toale, P.A., and respondent's counsel was Colleen C. Hartley of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2018-12-07","case_summary":"Maria Turkson filed a petition on December 7, 2018, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 19, 2015. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injuries or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite maintaining these positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation dated December 7, 2021. Special Master Katherine E. Oler reviewed the file and found the stipulation to be reasonable, adopting it as her decision. The stipulation awarded Maria Turkson a lump sum of $91,800.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). The Special Master approved the award and directed the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment accordingly, unless a motion for review was filed.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Katherine E.
