SIRVA is a condition listed in the Vaccine Injury Table. Mr. Woodland alleged he received the vaccine in the United States, suffered residual effects for more than six months, and had not filed a civil action or received other compensation for his injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on April 8, 2024, conceding that Mr. Woodland's alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA and that he satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a Ruling on Entitlement on April 8, 2024, finding Mr. Woodland entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on May 9, 2024, the respondent filed a proffer indicating that Mr. Woodland should be awarded $50,000.00 for pain and suffering, and that Mr. Woodland agreed with this proffered award. On June 14, 2024, Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a Decision Awarding Damages, awarding Mr. Woodland a lump sum payment of $50,000.00, payable by check to Mr. Woodland, representing compensation for his pain and suffering. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests performed, or treatments received. Petitioner was represented by Scott B. Taylor of Urban & Taylor, S.C., and the respondent was represented by Austin Joel Egan of the U.S. Department of Justice. Theory of causation field: Petitioner Clifford Woodland alleged a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on April 14, 2022. SIRVA is a "Table injury" under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The respondent conceded that Petitioner's alleged injury was consistent with SIRVA and that Petitioner satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. The respondent proffered an award of $50,000.00 for pain and suffering, which Petitioner agreed to. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a Ruling on Entitlement on April 8, 2024, finding Petitioner entitled to compensation, and a Decision Awarding Damages on June 14, 2024, awarding a lump sum of $50,000.00 for pain and suffering. The public text does not detail the specific mechanism of injury, medical experts, or alternative theories of causation beyond the Table injury classification.
