The petition alleged that Miles Levine suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of a meningitis vaccine administered on November 11, 2020. The case caption was later amended to reflect that Miles Levine had reached the age of majority on July 16, 2021. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on January 12, 2023, conceding that the petitioner was entitled to compensation. The respondent agreed that the injury met the criteria for SIRVA on the Vaccine Injury Table and that the petitioner satisfied the legal prerequisites for compensation. On January 17, 2023, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a ruling on entitlement, finding the petitioner entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on March 20, 2023, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation. The proffer indicated that the petitioner should be awarded $58,314.63, comprising $55,000.00 for pain and suffering and $3,314.63 for unreimbursed expenses. The petitioner agreed with this proffered award. On April 24, 2023, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a decision awarding the petitioner a lump sum payment of $58,314.63, payable to Miles Levine, representing compensation for all damages. The decision noted that the petitioner was a competent adult and did not require evidence of guardianship.
