The petition stated that the vaccine was administered within the United States, that Ms. Longo experienced residual effects of her injury for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages on her behalf. Respondent denied that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury following the flu vaccination and denied that the vaccine caused petitioner's shoulder injury or any other injury or her current condition. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as his decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Ms. Longo was awarded a lump sum of $55,000.00, payable to Petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision was issued on April 6, 2021. Petitioner was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant, PLLC, and respondent was represented by Lynn Christina Schlie of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
