Within 48 hours, he developed a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The respondent conceded that Mr. Ball's injury met the criteria for SIRVA as set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table, including no prior history of shoulder issues, onset within 48 hours of vaccination, and symptoms localized to the injection site. The respondent also agreed that the statutory six-month sequela requirement was satisfied. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court found Mr. Ball entitled to compensation. Subsequently, the parties reached a stipulation for damages. The court awarded Mr. Ball a total of $57,610.15, comprising $57,500.00 for pain and suffering and $110.15 for past unreimbursable expenses. This award covers all damages available under the Act.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
