Ms. Kelly alleged that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that she experienced residual effects of her SIRVA for more than six months, and that there had been no prior award or settlement for her condition. The respondent denied that Ms. Kelly sustained a Table SIRVA within the Table timeframe and denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury and residual effects. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on July 20, 2021, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision. The decision awarded Tamatha Kelly $57,500.00 in compensation, payable as a lump sum check, for all damages available under Section 15(a). This award represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages. Petitioner was represented by Paul R.
