DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

On December 6, 2018, Dianna Krueger filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.,2 (the "Vaccine Act"). Petitioner alleges that she suffered a SIRVA after she received an influenza vaccination on November 22, 2017. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.

On December 12, 2019, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding Petitioner entitled to compensation for her SIRVA. On December 11, 2019, Respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation ("Proffer") indicating Petitioner should be awarded $120,915.12. Proffer at 4. In the Proffer, Respondent represented that Petitioner agrees with the proffered award. Id. Based on the record as a whole, I find that Petitioner is entitled to an award as stated in the Proffer.

Pursuant to the terms stated in the Proffer, I award Petitioner a lump sum payment of $120,915.12 in the form of a check payable to Petitioner. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under § 15(a).

The clerk of the court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
