DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

DENISE K. VOWELL, Chief Special Master.

On January 20, 2015, Violet Wilson 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 a Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular Pertussis ("Tdap") vaccination on July 1, 2014, petitioner suffered a "shoulder injury related to vaccine administration." Petition at ¶10. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit ("SPU") of the Office of Special Masters.

On April 8, 2015, I issued a ruling on entitlement, finding petitioner entitled to compensation. On May 7, 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 $80,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioner.

This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under §15(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
