He stated that the vaccine was received in the United States, his injuries persisted for more than six months, and there was no pending civil litigation or prior settlement for his injuries. The respondent conceded that Mr. Yawn's injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table, noting that he had no prior shoulder issues, the pain occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, and the pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the injection site. The respondent also agreed that Mr. Yawn satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Consequently, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding Mr. Yawn entitled to compensation. Subsequently, the parties stipulated to an award of damages. The court awarded Larry Yawn a total of $47,167.76, comprising $47,000.00 for pain and suffering and $167.76 for past unreimbursable expenses, to be paid as a lump sum.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
