Petitioner stated the vaccine was administered in the United States, the injury had residual effects for more than six months, and there had been no prior award or settlement for these injuries. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained the onset of a SIRVA Table injury within the Table timeframe and further denied that the PCV13 vaccine caused the alleged left shoulder injury, any other injury, or her current condition. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision. The court awarded Ronnie Lacey $40,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). The decision was issued on May 10, 2022. Petitioner was represented by Leah VaSahnja Durant of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant, PLLC, and the respondent was represented by Mark Kim Hellie of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
