She alleged that she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on December 17, 2018. Ms. Matley stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States and that she experienced residual effects of the injury for more than six months. She also affirmed that she had not received a prior award or settlement for this condition. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms. Matley sustained a SIRVA, that the vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, or that her condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 25, 2022, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as his decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded Nicole Matley $48,000.00 as a lump sum, payable to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision was issued on March 3, 2022. Petitioner was represented by Glen Howard Sturtevant, Jr. of Rawls Law Group, and Respondent was represented by Lara Ann Englund of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests performed, treatments received, or the specific mechanism of injury.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
