She further alleged that the vaccine was received in the United States, she suffered sequelae of her injury for more than six months, and had not received prior compensation for this injury. The respondent conceded that Petitioner is entitled to compensation, agreeing that she suffered a SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and had satisfied all legal prerequisites. A Ruling on Entitlement was issued on May 10, 2024, finding Petitioner entitled to compensation.
