The parties filed a joint stipulation on April 15, 2020, agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation as his decision. Ana Marie Provencio was awarded a lump sum of $70,924.16, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was issued on April 15, 2020. Petitioner was represented by Ronald Craig Homer of Conway, Homer, P.C., and respondent was represented by Christine Mary Becer of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the onset, specific symptoms, diagnostic tests, or treatments for the alleged injury.

The mechanism of injury and specific expert testimony are not detailed in the public decision, as the case was settled via stipulation.
