The concession stated that Ms. Rapson had no prior right-shoulder pain, inflammation, or dysfunction; that pain occurred within forty-eight hours of vaccination; that pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; and that no other condition was identified to explain her shoulder pain. Chief Special Master Corcoran granted entitlement on February 14, 2025.\n\nThe public text does not provide a detailed clinical chronology, imaging results, injections, therapy, or daily-life effects.
