DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

NORA BETH DORSEY, Chief Special Master.

On February 17, 2017, petitioner 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 left shoulder injuries resulting from a Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis ("DTaP") vaccination received on September 21, 2015. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.

On August 18, 2017, a ruling on entitlement was issued, finding petitioner entitled to compensation for a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration ("SIRVA"). On January 25, 2018, respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation ("Proffer") indicating petitioner should be awarded $91,202.54. Proffer at 1. In the Proffer, respondent represented that petitioner agrees with the proffered award. Based on the record as a whole, the undersigned finds that petitioner is entitled to an award as stated in the Proffer.

Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Proffer, the undersigned awards petitioner a lump sum payment of $91,202.54 in the form of a check payable to petitioner, Marie Francis. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under § 300aa-15(a).

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.

RESPONDENT'S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION

In her August 18, 2017 decision, the Chief Special Master found that a preponderance of the medical evidence indicates that petitioner suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration ("SIRVA"), which was causally related to the flu vaccination she received on September 21, 2015. The parties have now addressed the amount of compensation to be awarded in this case.

I. Compensation

Based upon the evidence of record, respondent proffers that a lump sum of $91,202.54 should be awarded petitioner. This lump sum amount represents all elements of compensation to which petitioner would be entitled under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a).1 Petitioner agrees.

II. Form of the Award

Petitioner is a competent adult. Accordingly, the parties recommend that the compensation provided should be made in the form of a check for $91,202.54 payable to petitioner.
