RULING ON ENTITLEMENT1
BRIAN H. CORCORAN, Chief Special Master.
On August 7, 2018, Stacie 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"). Petitioner alleges that she suffered a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration ("SIRVA") as a result of an influenza ("flu") vaccination she received on October 17, 2018. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.
On November 1, 2019, Respondent filed his Rule 4(c) report in which he concedes that Petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case. Respondent's Rule 4(c) Report at 1. Specifically, Respondent states that "petitioner has satisfied the criteria set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table for SIRVA." Id. at 4. Respondent further agrees that "petitioner has satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation under the Vaccine Act." Id. at 5.
In view of Respondent's position and the evidence of record, I find that Petitioner is entitled to compensation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
