Mr. Frye claimed the injury was a Table injury and that its residual effects lasted for more than six months. The petition stated the vaccine was administered within the United States and that there had been no prior award or settlement of a civil action on his behalf for this injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Frye suffered the onset of his alleged SIRVA within the Table timeframe. The respondent further denied that the influenza vaccine caused Mr. Frye's alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current disabilities were a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 13, 2024, agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision of the court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Mr. Frye was awarded a lump sum of $87,500.00, payable to him, as compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. This award represents a negotiated settlement of liability and damages. The stipulation also noted that the parties would submit to further proceedings for the award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
