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

Proffer, in which he concedes that Petitioner is entitled to compensation in this case.

Petitioner’s alleged injury is consistent with a shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”), as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table. Id. at 4-5 (citing 42

legal prerequisites for compensation under the Vaccine Act. Id. at 6 (citing Section

In view of Respondent’s position and the evidence of record, I find that
Petitioner is entitled to compensation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
