“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that she received an influenza (“flu”) vaccination in
her right arm on October 11, 2016, and subsequently suffered a right shoulder injury
related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”). Petition at 1. The case was assigned to
the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.

petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case. Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report at 1.
Specifically, respondent has concluded that compensation is appropriate in this case

disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, the undersigned

public access. Because this unpublished ruling contains a reasoned explanation for the action in this
case, undersigned is required to post it on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website in

and Promotion of Electronic Government Services).
