Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
Paula DeBusk filed a petition alleging she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and left axillary neuropathy as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on September 18, 2018. The respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.
Despite these denials, the parties filed a stipulation recommending an award of compensation. The parties agreed that Petitioner would receive a lump sum of $82,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.
The Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court, awarding the compensation as recommended. Judgment was entered in accordance with the stipulation.
