She alleged that she received an influenza vaccine on September 29, 2019, and subsequently suffered a right shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, that the vaccine caused her alleged right shoulder injury or any other injury, and that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite the respondent's denials, on April 3, 2023, both parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the court's decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Elisabeth Preitauer was awarded a lump sum of $48,500.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). The decision was issued on May 4, 2023. Petitioner's counsel was Paul R. Brazil of Muller Brazil, LLP. Respondent's counsel was Alexa Roggenkamp of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
