AI-assisted case summary:
Eileen Barton filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following an influenza vaccination on September 29, 2020. She claimed the injury persisted for longer than six months. Respondent denied that Ms. Barton sustained a SIRVA Table injury, denied that her shoulder injury was caused-in-fact by the flu vaccine, and denied that the vaccine caused any other injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision. Ms. Barton was awarded a lump sum of $55,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was entered on March 18, 2025, following the petition filed on February 5, 2025. The case proceeded as an off-Table claim, with the parties stipulating to the award amount.

FINDINGS OF FACT1
On June 29, 2022, Eileen Barton 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 a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”) following an influenza vaccine she received on September 29,
2020. Petition at ¶1, 25, 28. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the
Office of Special Masters.
1 Because this Fact 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 Fact 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.

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 2 of 8
For the reasons discussed below, I find that there is preponderant evidence that
Petitioner’s flu vaccine was likely administered to her left arm.
I. Relevant Procedural History
On September 14, 2023, Respondent requested that I make a fact finding on the
question of whether Petitioner received her flu vaccine in her left or right arm. ECF No.
23. On September 19, 2023, Petitioner filed a Motion for Findings of Fact (“Mot.”). ECF
No. 24. Respondent filed a response (“Resp.”) on November 27, 2023 (ECF No. 30) and
Petitioner filed a reply (“Repl.”) on December 4, 2023. ECF No. 32. The issue is ripe for
resolution.
II. Issue
At issue is whether Petitioner received the vaccination alleged as causal in her
right or left arm. 42 C.F.R. § 100.3(c)(10)(iii) (pain and reduced range of motion limited to
the shoulder in which the intramuscular vaccine was administered).
III. Authority
Pursuant to Vaccine Act Section 13(a)(1)(A), a petitioner must prove, by a
preponderance of the evidence, the matters required in the petition by Vaccine Act
Section 11(c)(1). A special master must consider, but is not bound by, any diagnosis,
conclusion, judgment, test result, report, or summary concerning the nature, causation,
and aggravation of petitioner’s injury or illness that is contained in a medical record.
Section 13(b)(1). “Medical records, in general, warrant consideration as trustworthy
evidence. The records contain information supplied to or by health professionals to
facilitate diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. With proper treatment hanging in
the balance, accuracy has an extra premium. These records are also generally
contemporaneous to the medical events.” Cucuras v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 993
F.2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, where medical records are clear, consistent, and complete, they
should be afforded substantial weight. Lowrie v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., No. 03-
1585V, 2005 WL 6117475, at *20 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. Dec. 12, 2005). However, this rule
does not always apply. “Written records which are, themselves, inconsistent, should be
accorded less deference than those which are internally consistent.” Murphy v. Sec’y of
Health & Hum. Servs., No. 90-882V, 1991 WL 74931, *4 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. April 25,
1991), quoted with approval in decision denying review, 23 Cl. Ct. 726, 733 (1991), aff'd
per curiam, 968 F.2d 1226 (Fed.Cir.1992)). And the Federal Circuit recently “reject[ed] as
incorrect the presumption that medical records are accurate and complete as to all the
2

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 3 of 8
patient’s physical conditions.” Kirby v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 997 F.3d 1378,
1383 (Fed. Cir. 2021).
The United States Court of Federal Claims has outlined four possible explanations
for inconsistencies between contemporaneously created medical records and later
testimony: (1) a person’s failure to recount to the medical professional everything that
happened during the relevant time period; (2) the medical professional’s failure to
document everything reported to her or him; (3) a person’s faulty recollection of the events
when presenting testimony; or (4) a person’s purposeful recounting of symptoms that did
not exist. La Londe v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 110 Fed. Cl. 184, 203-04 (2013),
aff’d, 746 F.3d 1335 (Fed. Cir. 2014).
The Court has also said that medical records may be outweighed by testimony that
is given later in time that is “consistent, clear, cogent, and compelling.” Camery v. Sec’y
of Health & Hum. Servs., 42 Fed. Cl. 381, 391 (1998) (citing Blutstein v. Sec’y of Health
& Hum. Servs., No. 90-2808, 1998 WL 408611, at *5 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. June 30, 1998).
The credibility of the individual offering such fact testimony must also be determined.
Andreu v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 569 F.3d 1367, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2009); Bradley
v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 991 F.2d 1570, 1575 (Fed. Cir. 1993).
The special master is obligated to fully consider and compare not only the medical
records, testimony, but also all other “relevant and reliable evidence contained in the
record.” La Londe, 110 Fed. Cl. at 204 (citing Section 12(d)(3); Vaccine Rule 8); see also
Burns v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 3 F.3d 415, 417 (Fed. Cir. 1993) (holding that
it is within the special master’s discretion to determine whether to afford greater weight to
medical records or to other evidence, such as oral testimony surrounding the events in
question that was given at a later date, provided that such determination is rational). And
although later oral testimony that conflicts with medical records is less reliable as a
general matter, it is appropriate for a special master to credit a petitioner’s lay testimony
where is does not conflict with the contemporaneous records. Kirby, 997 F.3d at 1382-
84.
IV. Finding of Fact
I make the findings after a complete review of the record to include all medical
records, declarations, and additional evidence and arguments filed. I find the following
points to be particularly relevant:
• Petitioner received a flu vaccine in on September 29, 2020. Ex. 1 at 5; Ex.
3 at 85. The record for Petitioner’s appointment with her primary care
provider (“PCP”), Cecilia Vicuna-Keady, NP, on that date does not indicate
3

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 4 of 8
the site of vaccination. Ex. 3 at 81-85. Subsequent records, however,
indicate that the flu vaccine was administered into her right deltoid. See e.g.,
Ex. 3 at 7, 21, 45, 51, 61, 67, 75.
• Petitioner, however, recalled receiving two injections on September 29th –
her flu shot in her left arm, and a Vitamin B12 injection (not a vaccination)
in her right arm. Ex. 23 at ¶4. She remembered pulling her sleeve up on the
right side to expose her arm, but “being asked to pull her shirt sleeve down
to expose [her] shoulder for the injection, rather than removing [her] entire
arm from the sleeve” on the left. Ex. 13 at ¶4; Ex. 23 at ¶3. She also
remembered a nurse who was “standing closer to the door” administering
the B12 shot on the right and a student administering the flu shot on her left.
Ex. 23 at ¶4. Upon injection, Petitioner felt “an intense pressure in her left
shoulder,” which she described as “pain . . . like nothing [she] had ever
experienced with any prior injection.” Ex. 13 at ¶4.
• Petitioner recalled that she already had another appointment scheduled in
November 2020, “so [she] treated [her] shoulder with ice, heat, and Advil”
until that appointment. Ex. 13 at ¶5.
• Petitioner returned to her PCP on November 9, 2020. Ex. 3 at 74. She
recalled that she had “complained about [her] left shoulder pain and limited
range of motion.” Ex. 13 at ¶6. The record does not contain notations
regarding Petitioner’s complaint, but limited range of motion in the left
shoulder was noted in the review of systems section of the record and
confirmed in the physical exam findings. Ex. 3 at 77. Petitioner was given
home exercises. Id. at 79. She recalls being “assured that [her] shoulder
would heal on its own.” Ex. 13 at ¶6.
• On November 24, 2020, Petitioner returned to her PCP for a 30-minute
telehealth Medicare annual wellness visit. Ex. 3 at 69, 73. There are no
references to left shoulder pain in the record of that appointment.
• Petitioner returned to her PCP on December 11, 2020, for another Vitamin
B12 injection in her right deltoid. Ex. 3 at 66-68. The are no references to
left shoulder pain in the record of that encounter.
• On January 14, 2021, Petitioner sent a portal message to her PCP stating
that her “left arm at flu shot site has now been over 90 days in pain.” Ex. 12
at 2. She stated that she “faithfully did the exercises 3x day” that were
provided at her November 9, 2020 visit. Id. She reiterated that she was “sure
4

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 5 of 8
it’s from the shot as that was beginning.” Id. Petitioner’s PCP responded
advising her to apply heat for at least 30 minutes each day. Id.
• The following day, Petitioner saw her PCP for a previously scheduled
telehealth follow-up for hypertension. Ex. 3 at 60, 62. Petitioner reported
that she “continues to have left shoulder pain which started after getting her
influenza vaccine months ago.” Id. at 62. The provider suggested that
Petitioner continue home exercises and heat. Id. at 64.
• On January 30, 2021, Petitioner sent a message to her PCP through the
portal stating that “it’s been 4 months since my flu shot” and asking whether
it could be a SIRVA. Ex. 12 at 3. Her provider ordered a CT. Id.
• An ultrasound of Petitioner’s left shoulder performed on February 8, 2021,
revealed a small superficial lipoma. Ex. 4 at 18. When Petitioner reviewed
the results, she sent a message to her PCP indicating that she believed
more was wrong with her shoulder than revealed in the results. Ex. 12 at 4.
She said her symptoms were not only in the spot focused on in the
ultrasound. Id. She reiterated that her symptoms had been present since
her flu shot. Id.
• Petitioner returned to her PCP on February 23, 2021, to follow up with
respect to her left shoulder pain. Ex. 3 at 50. The HPI section of the record
indicates that Petitioner had a “mass on her right arm” and that “her right
arm continues to hurt.” Id. at 52. The review of systems section notes “joint
swelling and limited motion (left shoulder pain).” Id. at 53. On exam, the
provider recorded “good ROM” for Petitioner’s right shoulder and
“tenderness, bursitis/tendonitis, pain on palpation, and reduced ROM” for
her left shoulder. Id. at 54. She noted a “small, 1cm, soft mass on her left
mid-humeral region.” Id. A left shoulder x-ray was normal. Id. She
diagnosed adhesive capsulitis of the left shoulder and administered a
cortisone injection. Id. at 55-56.
• On February 28, 2021, Petitioner sent a message to her PCP about the
Covid-19 vaccine. Ex. 12 at 5. Although the filed record does not include
the complete message, Petitioner expresses concerns about the
vaccination “after flu vaccine and frozen shoulder (which cortisone
improved some).” Id. She noted that her shoulder was “much improved”
after the cortisone injection. Id.
5

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 6 of 8
• Petitioner returned to her PCP on March 18, 2021. Ex. 3 at 44. She reported
bruising on her right deltoid from a recent Covid-19 vaccine. Id. at 46. She
reported 75% improvement in her left shoulder pain. Id. at 47. Petitioner
received a Vitamin B12 injection to her left deltoid. Id.
• On April 22, 2021, Petitioner sent a message to her PCP about her shoulder
pain. Ex. 12 at 6. She stated that she was “not sure what happened when
student gave me flu shot.” Id. She reported “7 months of pain” and that she
knew ‘it was from the shot.” Id. She asked about another cortisone injection
because her pain had returned. Id. The provider stated that she thought “it
was likely a combination of the flu vaccine and a shoulder injury (frozen
shoulder).” Id.
• Petitioner received a second cortisone injection to her left shoulder on May
19, 2021. Ex. 3 at 32.
• She returned to her PCP on June 23, 2021. Ex. 3 at 24. She reported that
her left shoulder was “much better” and was only sore where she received
the cortisone injection. Id. at 26. The provider noted that “further treatment
is not needed at this time.” Id. at 27.
• On July 20, 2021, Petitioner sent a portal message to her PCP asking
whether an MRI was necessary due to residual pain in “just one spot in [her]
muscle.” Ex. 12 at 7. Petitioner planned to have one more cortisone injection
and see an orthopedist before getting an MRI. Id.
• Petitioner saw an orthopedist on August 18, 2021. Ex. 5 at 7. She reported
that she had received a flu injection in her left shoulder from a student on
September 29, 2020, which was administered “really high,” near her deltoid
insertion. Id. At the time, she continued to have pain in the area of the flu
injection and some limited motion, which had improved. Id. The provider
believed that the flu vaccine “went into the bursa” resulting in frozen
shoulder. Id. at 8. He advised her to take Aleve and referred her to physical
therapy. Id.
• Petitioner began physical therapy on September 16, 2021. Ex. 2 at 4. She
reported that she had a flu shot last year and “two days later” was unable
to lift her arm. Id. On exam, she had “clear signs of impingement” in her
shoulder. Id. at 7. Treatment was planned twice a week for ten weeks. Id.
6

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 7 of 8
• Petitioner continued to seek and receive treatment for left shoulder pain,
including two MRIs, physical therapy, prescription medications, and
cortisone injections. See e.g., Ex. 2, Ex. 3 at 16, Ex. 4 at 20, Ex. 5 at 5.
Respondent argues that Petitioner has not provided preponderant evidence that
her flu shot was administered to her left arm. Resp. at 11. In support, Respondent notes
that Petitioner’s “vaccination history” “plainly indicates that Petitioner received her
September 29, 2020 flu vaccination in her right deltoid, not her left,” and that Petitioner
has not provided sufficient “independent” evidence of left-sided administration. Id. at 13.
However, Respondent’s reading of the record evidence is unnecessarily narrow. It
is undisputed that Petitioner received her flu vaccine at an appointment with her PCP on
September 29, 2020, although situs is not specified in the administration records. Ex. 3
at 81-85. However, Petitioner has provided information in her declarations about the
circumstances of her vaccination. See Ex. 13, 23. Petitioner specifically recalled receiving
two injections that day, with the nurse administering a vitamin B12 shot to her right arm
(nearer to the door) and a student administering a flu shot to her left arm. Ex. 23 at ¶4.
She further recalled circumstances that support her situs argument. Thus, she recollects
lifting the right sleeve of her shirt for the vitamin injection, but pulling down the neckline
of her shirt on the left side- exposing the shoulder as well as the arm. Id. at ¶3. Petitioner’s
testimony is not contradictory to the contemporaneous medical record of September 29,
2020, but provides details consistent with the notations therein.
By Petitioner’s next appointment with her PCP on November 9, 2020, a section
entitled “vaccine history” appeared on the record, which indicated that the September 29,
2020 flu shot had been administered to her right deltoid. Ex. 3 at 75. But there is no
evidence in the record regarding how or when that information was input into Petitioner’s
records. Further, only this one record, which is not itself a vaccine administration record,
definitively states that Petitioner received the vaccination in her right arm. All remaining
records for periods thereafter3 are consistent in identifying the vaccinated arm as the left.
Respondent argues that Petitioner’s case is similar to Anderson v. Sec’y of Health
& Human Servs., No. 20-195V, 2022 WL 17484352 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. Nov. 20, 2022).
Relying on Anderson, Respondent argues that Petitioner waited “three and a half months
after her vaccination, with three interim visits to her PCP, before she attributed her left-
shoulder symptoms to vaccine administration.” Resp. at 14-15. However, Respondent
omits from his argument additional evidence regarding the site of administration in the
Anderson case: a handwritten contemporaneous record that contradicted Petitioner’s
alleged site. Anderson, 2022 WL 17484352 at *8-9. Further, the Anderson petitioner did
3 Although Respondent argues that this record appears “throughout [Petitioner’s] medical records,” it is
clear that it is repeated automatically and thus, the repetition does not add legitimacy. Resp. at 11.
7

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 40 Filed 10/03/24 Page 8 of 8
not provide “any specific recollection that would dispute the accuracy” of the
contemporaneous record. Anderson, 2022 WL 17484352 at *8-9. But here, the record
most contemporaneous with Petitioner’s vaccination is silent on the site of administration.
Ex. 3 at 85. And Petitioner has provided her specific recollection of the vaccination in her
declaration. Ex. 23 at ¶3-4.
Also supporting Petitioner’s situs contentions are the subsequent treatment
records. Although the record of Petitioner’s first post-vaccination visit to her PCP
(occurring just over a month after her vaccination) does not mention her vaccination, it
does note left shoulder pain, suggesting that Petitioner discussed her symptoms at that
visit, as she alleges. Ex. 3 at 74; Ex. 13 at ¶6. And the two other intervening visits
referenced by Respondent include a Medicare annual wellness visit on November 24,
2020, which is not a physical examination, and an appointment for the sole purpose of a
vitamin B12 injection. Ex. 3 at 66, 69, 73; See also
https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/yearly-wellness-visits. Due to the limited nature of
both appointments, Petitioner would not necessarily have been expected to address her
left shoulder pain. Thereafter, Petitioner consistently attributed her left shoulder pain to
her vaccination, a fact conceded by Respondent. See e.g., Ex. 3 at 62, Ex. 5 at 7, Ex. 12
at 2; Resp. at 11. In addition, there is no evidence other than the “vaccine history” that
the vaccination was administered in Petitioner’s right arm.
Admittedly, it is reasonable for Respondent to raise questions here as to whether
Petitioner confused the flu vaccine she received in one arm with the vitamin injection
received in the other. I cannot definitively determine the issue. But reviewing the record
as described, and applying the “more likely than not” evidentiary standard, allows for the
conclusion that Petitioner has preponderantly established that she received the relevant
vaccination in her left arm, as alleged.
V. Scheduling Order
The following is ORDERED: Respondent shall file, by no later than Friday,
September 30, 2024, a status report indicating how he intends to proceed in this
case in light of the record and this fact ruling. The status report shall indicate whether
he is willing to engage in discussions regarding settlement or damages or remains
opposed to negotiating at this time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1
On June 29, 2022, Eileen Barton 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 a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”) following an influenza vaccination she received on September
29, 2020. Petition at ¶¶ 1, 25, 28; Stipulation, filed at February 4, 2025, ¶¶ 2, 4. Petitioner
further alleges that her vaccine-related injury has persisted for longer than six months.
Petition at ¶ 27; Stipulation at ¶ 4. “Respondent denies that Petitioner sustained a SIRVA
Table injury, denies that Petitioner’s alleged left shoulder injury was caused-in-fact by the
flu vaccine, and denies that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner any other injury or her
current condition.” Stipulation at ¶ 6.

Case 1:22-vv-00724-UNJ Document 55 Filed 03/18/25 Page 4 of 8
of this injury for more than six months. In the alternative, petitioner alleges that the flu vaccine
was the cause-in-fact of her shoulder injury.
5. Petitioner represents that there has been no prior award or settlement of a civil action
for damages on petitioner's behalf as a result of the alleged injury.
6. Respondent denies that petitioner sustained a SIRVA Table Injury, denies that
petitioner's alleged left shoulder injury was caused-in-fact by the flu vaccine, and denies that the
flu vaccine caused petitioner any other injury or her cun-ent condition
7. Maintaining their above-stated positions, the parties nevertheless now agree that the
issues between them shall be settled and that a decision should be entered awarding the
compensation described in paragraph 8 of this Stipulation.
8. As soon as practicable after an entry of judgment reflecting a decision consistent with
the terms of this Stipulation, and after petitioner has filed an election to receive compensation
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-21(a)(l), the Secretary of Health and Human Services will issue
the following vaccine compensation payment for all damages that would be available under 42
U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a):
A lump sum of $55,000.00 to be paid through an ACH deposit to petitioner's
counsel's IOL TA account for prompt disbursement. This amount represents
compensation for all damages that would be available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa
l 5(a).
9. As soon as practicable after the entry of judgment on entitlement in this case, and after
petitioner has filed both a proper and timely election to receive compensation pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 300aa-2 I (a)( I), and an application, the parties will submit to further proceedings before
the special master to award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incun-ed in proceeding upon this

petitioner resulting from, or that may be alleged to have resulted from, the vaccination
administered on September 29, 2020, and (ii) that petitioner has had, now has, or hereafter may

COVID-19 vaccinations administered on March 5, 2021, March 26, 2021, and October 22, 2021
on their own or in combination with the flu vaccination administered on September 29, 2020,

compensation filed on or about June 29, 2022, in the United States Court of Federal Claims as
petition No. 22-724V, specifically a left shoulder injury, for which petitioner will receive
