RULING ON ENTITLEMENT1
On January 6, 2021, Janice Reeve (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for compensation
under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2
(the “Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that she suffered from a shoulder injury related to
vaccine administration (“SIRVA”) as a result of receiving an influenza (“flu”) vaccination
on October 7, 2020. Pet. at 1, ECF No. 1. Petitioner further alleges that she suffered the
residual effects of her injury for more than six months. Id.; see also Am. Pet. at 1, ECF
No. 12. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special
Masters.
On July 25, 2023, Respondent filed his Rule 4(c) report in which he concedes that
Petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case. Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report at 1,
1 Because this Ruling contains a reasoned explanation for the action taken in this case, it must be made
publicly accessible and will be posted on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, and/or
at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/uscourts/national/cofc, in accordance with the E-Government Act
of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2018) (Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic Government
Services). This means the Ruling will be available to anyone with access to the internet. In accordance
with Vaccine Rule 18(b), Petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other information,
the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, I agree that
the identified material fits within this definition, I will redact such material from public access.

ECF No. 28. Specifically, Respondent indicated that “Petitioner’s alleged injury is
consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table.” Id. at 3. Respondent
further agrees that Petitioner “has satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation under
the Act.” Id. at 4.
In view of Respondent’s position and the evidence of record, I find that
Petitioner is entitled to compensation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
