Respondent denied causation. The parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Petitioner a lump sum of $160,000.00 for all damages. The stipulation noted that the flu vaccine is contained in the Vaccine Injury Table, but the parties agreed to settle without admission of causation, releasing all claims. No specific medical experts or detailed clinical information regarding the onset, symptoms, diagnostic tests, or treatment were detailed in the public decision. The theory of causation was not litigated to conclusion, but rather settled via stipulation, with the award reflecting a compromise of the parties' positions.
