DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES 1
On September 24, 2012, petitioners filed a petition for compensation on behalf of
their minor son, L.A., under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42
U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq., 2 (the “Vaccine Act”). Petitioners alleged that L.A.’s flu mist
vaccine caused his seizures and encephalitis. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to
Special Master Laura Millman. On December 15, 2016, a ruling on entitlement was
issued finding petitioners entitled to compensation for L.A.’s bilateral striatal necrosis.
(ECF No. 97.) On June 5, 2019, following Special Master Millman’s retirement, this case
was assigned to me.
On December 6, 2019, respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation
(“Proffer”) indicating petitioner should be awarded: a lump sum payment of

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. Because this unpublished
decision contains a reasoned explanation for the action in this case, I am required to post it on the United

representing compensation for past unreimbursable expenses, payable to petitioners;
and an amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract as described in the Proffer.
Proffer at 3. In the Proffer, respondent represented that petitioners agree with the
proffered award. Id. Based on the record as a whole, I find that petitioners are entitled
to an award as stated in the Proffer.
Accordingly, pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Proffer and
accompanying Appendix, I award:
• A lump sum payment of $1,352,278.47 in the form of a check payable to the
court-appointed guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of L.A. for the
benefit of L.A.; and
• A lump sum payment of $66,794.04 in the form of a check payable jointly to
petitioners; and
• An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract described in the
attached Proffer at Section II.C.
These amounts represent 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

RESPONDENT'S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION
In her Ruling on Entitlement issued on December 15, 2016, Special Master Millman
found that a preponderance of the evidence supported petitioner’s claim that the FluMist vaccine
administered to L.A. on December 29, 2010, caused his bilateral striatal necrosis. Respondent
now proffers the following regarding the amount of compensation to be awarded. 1
I. Items of Compensation
A. Life Care Items
The respondent engaged life care planner, M. Virginia NeSmith Walton, M.S.N., RN,
FNP, CLCP, and petitioners engaged Nancy J. Bond, CCM, CLCP, to provide an estimation of
L.A.’s future vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this proffer, the term “vaccine
related” is as described in the Special Master’s Ruling on Entitlement. All items of
compensation identified in the life care plan are supported by the evidence, and are illustrated by
1
The parties have no objection to the amount of the proffered award of damages. Assuming the Special
Master issues a damages decision in conformity with this proffer, the parties waive their right to seek review of such
damages decision. However, respondent reserves his right, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(e), to seek review of
the Special Master’s December 15, 2016, Ruling on Entitlement.
-1-
the chart entitled Appendix A: Items of Compensation for L.A., attached hereto as Tab A. 2
Petitioners agree.
B. Lost Future Earnings
The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record, L.A. will not be gainfully
employed in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers that L.A. should be awarded lost future
earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(3)(B). Respondent
proffers that the appropriate award for L.A.'s lost future earnings is $1,047,884.72. Petitioners
agree.
C. Pain and Suffering
Respondent proffers that L.A. should be awarded $250,000.00 in actual pain and
suffering. See 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioners agree.
D. Past Unreimbursable Expenses
Evidence supplied by petitioners documents their expenditure of past unreimbursable
expenses related to L.A.'s vaccine-related injury. Respondent proffers that petitioners should be
awarded past unreimbursable expenses in the amount of $66,794.04. Petitioners agree.
II. Form of the Award
The parties recommend that the compensation provided to L.A. should be made through a
combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below, and request
that the Special Master's decision and the Court's judgment award the following: 3
2
The chart at Tab A illustrates the annual benefits provided by the life care plan. The annual benefit years
run from the date of judgment up to the first anniversary of the date of judgment, and every year thereafter up to the
anniversary of the date of judgment.
3 Should L.A. die prior to entry of judgment, the parties reserve the right to move the Court for appropriate
relief. In particular, respondent would oppose any award for future medical expenses, lost future earnings, and
future pain and suffering.
-2-
A. A lump sum payment of $1,352,278.47 representing compensation for lost earnings
($1,047,884.72), pain and suffering ($250,000.00), and life care expenses for Year One
($54,393.75), in the form of a check payable to petitioners as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of L.A.,
for the benefit of L.A. No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with
documentation establishing that they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of
L.A.'s estate. If petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as
guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of L.A., any such payment shall be made to the party or
parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of
the estate of L.A. upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the
Secretary.
B. A lump sum payment of $66,794.04, representing compensation for past
unreimbursable expenses, in the form of a check payable to petitioners, Magnus and Brandi
Akerstrom.
C. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract, 4 subject to the conditions
described below, that will provide payments for the life care items contained in the life care plan,
as illustrated by the chart at Tab A attached hereto, paid to the life insurance company 5 from
4
In respondent’s discretion, respondent may purchase one or more annuity contracts from one or more life
insurance companies.
5
The Life Insurance Company must have a minimum of $250,000,000 capital and surplus, exclusive of
any mandatory security valuation reserve. The Life Insurance Company must have one of the following ratings
from two of the following rating organizations:
a. L.A. Best Company: A++, A+, A+g, A+p, A+r, or A+s;
b. Moody's Investor Service Claims Paying Rating: Aa3, Aa2, Aa1, or Aaa;
c. Standard and Poor's Corporation Insurer Claims-Paying Ability Rating: AA-, AA, AA+, or

which the annuity will be purchased. 6 Compensation for Year Two (beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of judgment) and all subsequent years shall be provided through
respondent's purchase of an annuity, which annuity shall make payments directly to petitioners
only so long as L.A. is alive at the time a particular payment is due. At the Secretary's sole
discretion, the periodic payments may be provided to petitioners in monthly, quarterly, annual or
other installments. The "annual amounts" set forth in the chart at Tab A describe only the total
yearly sum to be paid to petitioners and do not require that the payment be made in one annual
installment.
1. Growth Rate
Respondent proffers that a four percent (4%) growth rate should be applied to all non-
medical life care items, and a five percent (5%) growth rate should be applied to all medical life
care items. Thus, the benefits illustrated in the chart at Tab A that are to be paid through annuity
payments should grow as follows: four percent (4%) compounded annually from the date of
judgment for non-medical items, and five percent (5%) compounded annually from the date of
judgment for medical items. Petitioners agree.
2. Life-Contingent Annuity
The petitioners will continue to receive the annuity payments from the Life Insurance
Company only so long as L.A. is alive at the time that a particular payment is due. Written
notice shall be provided to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Life Insurance
Company within twenty (20) days of L.A.’s death.
3. Guardianship
6
Petitioners authorize the disclosure of certain documents filed by the petitioners in this case consistent
with the Privacy Act and the routine uses described in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program System
of Records, No. 09-15-0056.
-4-
No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with documentation
establishing that they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of L.A.’s estate. If
petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as
guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of L.A., any such payment shall be made to the party or
parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of
the estate of L.A. upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the
Secretary.

conservator(s) of the estate of L.A. for the benefit of L.A.: $1,352,278.47
