She alleged that an influenza vaccine administered on October 12, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration and that her symptoms persisted for more than six months.\n\nRespondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report filed March 11, 2026. Respondent stated that Ms. Steiner's injury was consistent with Table SIRVA because she had no history of pain, inflammation, or dysfunction in her left shoulder before vaccination; pain occurred within forty-eight hours after an intramuscular vaccination; pain and reduced range of motion were limited to the vaccinated shoulder; and no other condition or abnormality had been identified to explain the shoulder pain. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran granted entitlement on March 17, 2026.\n\nOn March 18, 2026, the Special Master awarded damages based on respondent's proffer. The award was a lump sum of $124,280.00, paid through counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Ms. Steiner. It consisted of $120,000.00 for pain and suffering, $2,027.20 for past unreimbursable expenses, and $2,252.80 for past lost wages. Ms. Steiner was identified as a competent adult, so no guardianship evidence was required.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
