Mr. Crowley alleged the vaccination was administered within the United States and that he experienced residual effects of his injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Crowley sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injuries or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these opposing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on October 26, 2021, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as his decision. The decision awarded Mr. Crowley a lump sum of $40,000.00, payable by check to the Petitioner, as compensation for all damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages. The stipulation also noted that attorneys' fees and costs would be addressed in further proceedings. The decision was issued on December 1, 2021.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
