She alleged a Table SIRVA, or alternatively a shoulder injury caused in fact or significantly aggravated by the Td vaccine, with residual effects lasting more than six months. Respondent denied that Ms.
Cross sustained SIRVA, denied that the Td vaccine caused or significantly aggravated her alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. The public stipulation does not describe the first symptom, onset interval, treatment, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations.
