Neptune alleged that the vaccine was administered within the United States and that she experienced residual effects of her injury for more than six months. She also stated there had been no prior award or settlement for her condition. The respondent denied that Neptune sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that her condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these opposing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on March 24, 2020, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as his decision. Neptune was awarded a lump sum of $95,000.00, payable to her, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision was entered on April 24, 2020. Petitioner was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop, and respondent was represented by Linda Sara Renzi.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
