She alleged residual effects lasting more than six months. Respondent denied that Ms. Jellison's flu vaccine caused her alleged shoulder injury, any other injury, or her current condition. The case resolved through a joint stipulation rather than a litigated medical ruling, so the public decision does not provide a detailed onset narrative, medical treatment chronology, imaging, injections, therapy, or expert testimony. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation on July 23, 2025, and awarded Ms. Jellison a lump sum of $15,000.00. A later attorney-fee decision was separate from the injury-compensation award. Theory of causation field: Influenza vaccine on November 19, 2020, allegedly causing SIRVA; COMPENSATED by stipulation. Respondent denied vaccine causation and current sequelae. Public stipulation supplies limited medical detail. Award $15,000 lump sum. Chief SM Brian H. Corcoran, petition filed July 17, 2023; decision July 23, 2025.

Petitioner has now filed a motion for attorney’s fees and costs, requesting an award of $24,919.09 (representing $24,046.50 in fees plus $872.59 in costs). Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs (“Motion”) filed January 5, 2026, ECF No. 35 Furthermore, Counsel represents that Petitioner incurred no personal out-of-pocket expenses. ECF No. 35-4. Respondent reacted to the motion on January 20, 2026, deferring resolution of the amount to be awarded to my discretion. ECF No. 36 at 2-5. Petitioner filed no reply thereafter.
