The damages record gave more of Ms. Tani's story. She felt a strange twinge immediately after the shot, later described concern that it had been given wrong, and developed persistent pain. A December 14, 2021 MRI arthrogram showed mild degenerative arthrosis and findings including likely diffuse biceps-tendon tearing, possible post-traumatic teres minor tearing/strain, and supraspinatus/infraspinatus tendinosis. Her treatment included a steroid injection, Medrol Dosepak, specialist visits, physical therapy, and a home-exercise program. She was also caring for four children, and by July 2022 her records showed full range of motion, good strength, and effective resolution.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran awarded damages on March 13, 2025 after briefing. He awarded $50,000.00 for actual pain and suffering and $428.42 in unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $50,428.42.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
