On June 15, 2020, Martha Klug 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 left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”), which meets the definition of a Table SIRVA, after receiving the influenza vaccine on November 13, 2018. Petition at 1, ¶¶ 2, 9. Petitioner further alleges that she received the vaccine in the United States, that she suffered the residual effects of his SIRVA for more than six months, and that neither she nor any other party has filed a civil action or received compensation for her injury. Id. at ¶¶ 2, 9-11. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit of the Office of Special Masters.

*2 On October 4, 2021, 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 has “concluded that [P]etitioner suffered a Table SIRVA, as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table.” Id. at 4. Respondent further agrees that “based on the current record, [P]etitioner has satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation under the 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.
