Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found on August 15, 2025 that the vaccine had been administered in her left arm. The public fact ruling and later stipulation establish the contested situs issue and the settlement terms, but they do not give a complete treatment narrative, imaging history, injection history, therapy course, or daily functional story.\n\nRespondent continued to deny that Ms. Draper sustained a Table SIRVA, denied causation, and denied vaccine-related sequelae. The parties nevertheless resolved the case by stipulation. On December 29, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded $60,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
