Cope filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine he received on September 6, 2022. The respondent conceded that Mr. Cope's injury was consistent with SIRVA, noting that he had no prior shoulder issues, the pain occurred within 48 hours of the vaccination, and the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injection site. The respondent also confirmed that Mr. Cope suffered residual effects for more than six months and met all other legal prerequisites for compensation. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the court found Mr. Cope entitled to compensation. Subsequently, the parties reached a stipulation for damages. The court awarded Mr. Cope a total of $112,319.12, which included $110,000.00 for pain and suffering, $2,092.16 for past unreimbursable expenses, and $226.96 for past lost wages. This award was paid as a lump sum through his counsel.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
