HUMAN SERVICES,
Respondent.
Chief Special Master Corcoran
Filed: December 16, 2025
Timothy Patrick Clancy, Clancy & Thompson, PLLC, Tulsa, OK, for Petitioner.
Rachelle Bishop, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC, for Respondent.
DECISION ON DAMAGES1
On 	October 	18, 	2024, 	Ashley 	Loncarich-Boeckman 	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 alleged that the misadministration of
an October 19, 2022 influenza vaccine caused her to suffer adverse effects that entitle
her to compensation under the Act. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special
Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.
On December 15, 2025, Respondent filed a combined Rule 4(c) Report and
Proffer, in which he concedes that Petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case for
a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”), as defined by the Vaccine
Injury Table. Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer at 1, 4-5. On December 16, 2025, I issued a
Ruling on Entitlement.
1 Because this Decision contains a reasoned explanation for the action taken in this case, it must be made
publicly accessible and will be posted on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, and/or at
https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/uscourts/national/cofc, in accordance with the E-Government Act of
2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2018) (Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic Government
Services). This means the Decision will be available to anyone with access to the internet. In
accordance with Vaccine Rule 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.
2 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-660, 100 Stat. 3755. Hereinafter, for ease
of citation, all section references to the Vaccine Act will be to the pertinent subparagraph of 42 U.S.C.
§ 300aa (2018).

Respondent represents that Petitioner agrees to his proffer on an award of
compensation. Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer at 5. Based on the record as
a whole, I find that Petitioner is entitled to an award as stated in the Proffer.
Pursuant to the terms stated in the combined Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer,3
Petitioner is awarded a lump sum of $52,500.00 (for pain and suffering) to be paid
through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt
disbursement to Petitioner. This amount represents compensation for all damages that
would be available under Section 15(a). Proffer at 6-7.
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision. 4
IT IS SO ORDERED.

3 Because the combined Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer contains information regarding Petitioner’s personal
medical history, which is not generally included in a Proffer when separately filed, it is not attached hereto.
4 Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 11(a), entry of judgment can be expedited by the parties’ joint filing of notice
renouncing the right to seek review.
