DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

DENISE K. VOWELL, Chief Special Master.

On December 8, 2014, Nicole C'Debaca filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-10, et seq,2 [the "Vaccine Act" or "Program"]. The petition alleges that as a result of the administration of an influenza vaccination on November 1, 2013, petitioner suffered a shoulder injury. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit ("SPU") of the Office of Special Masters.

On March 27, 2015, I issued a ruling on entitlement, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. On April 29, 2015, respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation ("Proffer") detailing compensation for all elements of compensation to which petitioner would be entitled under § 15(a). According to respondent's Proffer, petitioner agrees to the proposed award of compensation.

Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Proffer, I award petitioner a lump sum payment of $70,000.00 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.
