The Chief Special Master found that it is more likely than not that Ms. Johnston's shoulder pain began within 48 hours of vaccination and was limited to her right shoulder, satisfying the criteria for a Table SIRVA claim. While Respondent argued against Table onset due to the timing of treatment and against symptom localization due to reports of radiating pain, the Special Master found the evidence weighed in Petitioner's favor. Medical records and Ms. Johnston's affidavit indicated pain onset close to the vaccination date, and although there were occasional reports of radiating pain to her hand or neck, the primary diagnosis and treatment focused on her right shoulder. The case is proceeding, with the Special Master encouraging the parties to attempt settlement before further litigation, noting that any award would likely be modest given the limited treatment received.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
