He alleged that the flu shot caused a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, or SIRVA, and the case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.\n\nRespondent filed a combined Rule 4(c) report and proffer on December 28, 2022. The public entitlement ruling states that respondent conceded Beech's left shoulder injury was consistent with SIRVA under the Vaccine Injury Table and Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation, and that Beech experienced residual effects or complications for more than six months after vaccination. Because the combined report and proffer contained personal medical history, it was not attached to the damages decision; the public decisions therefore provide only limited clinical detail.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran granted entitlement and damages on December 29, 2022. Beech was awarded a lump sum of $45,000.00, payable to him, representing all damages available under section 15(a). He was represented by Ryan Truesdale of Groth Law Firm S.C. in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
