She alleged that she suffered a left Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccination received on September 11, 2015. Ms. Olexsa claimed the onset of pain occurred within 48 hours of the injection and that she experienced residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused any other injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 16, 2020, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision. The decision awarded Ms. Olexsa a lump sum of $108,000.00, payable to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. The public decision does not describe the specific symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case. Petitioner was represented by Jessica E.
