She further alleged that she suffered residual effects of her injury for more than six months. The respondent conceded that Petitioner is entitled to compensation, stating her injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table. Specifically, she had no prior shoulder issues, pain occurred within 48 hours post-vaccination, was limited to the injection site, and no other condition explained the pain. The respondent also agreed that her condition persisted for more than six months. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court found Petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, a decision awarding damages was issued. The respondent proffered an award of $85,000.00 for pain and suffering, which Petitioner agreed to. The court awarded Petitioner a lump sum payment of $85,000.00 in pain and suffering.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
