Ms. Burgo alleged the vaccination was administered in the United States, her symptoms lasted for more than six months, and she had not previously filed an action or received compensation for this injury. The respondent denied that Ms. Burgo sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequelae of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision awarding damages. Ms. Burgo was awarded a lump sum payment of $25,000.00, payable to her. Additionally, a lump sum payment of $730.26 was awarded to satisfy a State of Georgia Medicaid lien for services rendered by WellCare, payable jointly to Ms. Burgo and Equian. This total award represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The stipulation was not an admission by the United States that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Burgo's injury. Petitioner was represented by Bridget Candace McCullough of Muller Brazil, LLP, and respondent was represented by Ronalda Elnetta Kosh of the U.S. Department of Justice.
