Her amended petition was filed on April 14, 2022. Petitioner alleged she received the vaccine in the United States, experienced residual effects for more than six months, and had no prior award or settlement for her condition. The respondent denied that the petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that the flu 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 denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on October 12, 2023, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision of the court. Pursuant to the stipulation, Maria Herrero Gonzalez was awarded a lump sum of $80,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The decision directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in accordance with the decision, unless a motion for review is filed. The parties also agreed to further proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs. Petitioner was represented by Jessi Carin Huff of Maglio Christopher & Toale. Respondent was represented by Amanda Pasciuto of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
