She claimed a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, known as SIRVA, which is a condition listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. Ms. Darroca further alleged that she experienced residual effects of this injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Ms. Darroca sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the 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 opposing positions, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement on September 8, 2023. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting its terms as his decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, Ms. Darroca was awarded a lump sum of $55,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all damages. This award resolves the case through a negotiated settlement, avoiding further litigation on the merits of entitlement or causation. Petitioner was represented by Amy A. Senerth of Muller Brazil, LLP, and the respondent was represented by Alexa Roggenkamp of the U.S. Department of Justice. The decision was issued on October 27, 2023.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
