Kelly Mox filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on April 20, 2020, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving a Tdap vaccine on January 10, 2018. The respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Ms.

Mox had no prior shoulder issues, her pain and reduced range of motion occurred within 48 hours of the vaccination, her symptoms were limited to the vaccinated shoulder, and no other condition explained her symptoms. The injury was also found to have lasted at least six months.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on July 26, 2021. Subsequently, on January 23, 2023, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, which Ms.

Mox agreed to. The proffer detailed an award of $160,000.00 for pain and suffering, $25,727.67 for past and future lost wages, and $6,403.05 for out-of-pocket expenses, totaling $192,130.72.
