Respondent denied that Ms. Sanders sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused a shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was a vaccine-related sequela.

On October 27, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded Ms. Sanders $48,750.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.
