DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1
On December 18, 2024, Rebecca Jensen filed a petition for compensation under
the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). The petition seeks compensation for injuries allegedly related to
Petitioner’s receipt of an influenza (“flu”) vaccine, which vaccine is listed in the Vaccine
Injury Table (the “Table”), 42 C.F.R. § 100.3(a), on January 2, 2024. Petitioner alleges
that she sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”) within the
time period set forth in the Table. Petitioner further alleges that she experienced the
residual effects of this injury for more than six months.

accordance with Vaccine Rule 18(b), Petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other
information, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, I
agree that the identified material fits within this definition, I will redact such material from public access.

Respondent denies that Petitioner sustained a Table SIRVA; denies that the
vaccine caused Petitioner’s alleged shoulder injury, or any other injury; and denies that
her current condition is a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.
Nevertheless, on April 1, 2026, the parties filed the attached joint stipulation3
stating that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. I find the stipulation
reasonable and adopt it as my decision awarding damages, on the terms set forth therein.
Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Stipulation, I award the following
compensation:
A lump sum of $65,000.00 to be paid through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s
counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Petitioner. Stipulation
at ¶ 8. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages that would
be available under Section 15(a). Id.
I approve the requested amount for Petitioner’s compensation. In the absence of
a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of Court is directed to
enter judgment in accordance with this decision.4
IT IS SO ORDERED.
