The respondent filed a Rule 4(c) Report on March 29, 2019, conceding that petitioner was entitled to compensation. The respondent concluded that petitioner's alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA, a Table injury, noting that she had no prior history of shoulder issues, her symptoms began within 48 hours of receiving an intramuscular vaccination, her symptoms were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained her symptoms. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a Ruling on Entitlement on April 1, 2019, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on May 7, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation, indicating that petitioner should be awarded $79,502.51. This amount represented $75,000.00 for pain and suffering and $4,502.51 for past out-of-pocket medical expenses. The respondent stated that petitioner agreed with the proffered award. On August 14, 2019, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a Decision Awarding Damages, awarding petitioner a lump sum payment of $79,502.51, payable by check to Vicki Havel, representing compensation for all damages available under § 15(a).
