She stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the condition had residual effects for more than six months, and there had been no prior award or settlement for this injury. Respondent denied that Ms. Kabanuk sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the vaccine caused her injury, and denied her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on March 1, 2022, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The Chief Special Master adopted the stipulation as the decision, awarding Ms. Kabanuk a lump sum of $35,000.00. This amount represents compensation for all damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The stipulation also noted that further proceedings would occur to award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The parties agreed that the compensation provided is not for items or services for which the Program is not primarily liable, and that Ms. Kabanuk, on behalf of herself and her heirs, forever releases the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from all claims related to the flu vaccination administered on January 19, 2019.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
