                                  DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

        On September 15, 2014, J.S. filed a petition seeking compensation under the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.2 (ECF No. 1). Petitioner alleged that he suffered from
transverse myelitis as a result of the flu vaccine he received on September 23, 2011. Id. at 1.
Petitioner later amended his claim to state that, in the alternative, receiving the flu vaccine caused
a significant aggravation of an underlying neurological condition. (ECF No. 32). Respondent

  Although not formally designated for publication, this Decision will be posted on the United States Court of Federal
Claims website in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002, 44 U.S.C. § 3501 (2012). This means the Decision
will be available to anyone with access to the internet. As provided by 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(d)(4)(B), however,
the parties may object to the published Decision’s inclusion of certain kinds of confidential information. Specifically,
under Vaccine Rule 18(b), each party has fourteen days within which to request redaction “of any information
furnished by that party: (1) that is a trade secret or commercial or financial in substance and is privileged or
confidential; or (2) that includes medical files or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of privacy.” Vaccine Rule 18(b). Otherwise, the whole Decision will be available to the public
in its current form. Id.

 The Vaccine Program comprises Part 2 of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-660,
100 Stat. 3758, codified as amended at 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-10 through 34 (2012) (“Vaccine Act” or “the Act”).
Individual section references hereafter will be to § 300aa of the Act (but will omit that statutory prefix).
claimed that Petitioner was not entitled to compensation in his Rule 4(c) Report filed on October
30, 2013. (ECF No. 14).

        For the next several years the parties litigated this matter. They submitted expert reports,
pre-hearing briefs, and an entitlement hearing was held on September 28, 2017. (ECF Nos. 19, 24,
28, 31, 33, 37, and 38). Then, on April 9, 2018, I issued a Decision on Entitlement—holding that
Petitioner had established his prima facie case, and directing the parties to begin the resolving the
amount of damages. (ECF No. 55).

       Thereafter the parties focused on resolving damages. Respondent has now filed a proffer
proposing an award of compensation. (ECF No. 84) (“Proffer”). I have reviewed the file, and based
upon that review, I conclude that Respondent’s Proffer (as attached hereto) is reasonable. I
therefore adopt it as my decision in awarding damages on the terms set forth therein.

         The Proffer proposes:

    •    A lump sum payment of $902,401.49, representing compensation for life care expenses
         expected to be incurred during the first year after judgment ($185,058.17); lost earnings
         ($452,407.53); pain and suffering ($250,000.00); and past unreimbursable expenses
         ($14,935.79), in the form of a check payable to Petitioner; and

    •    An amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract, subject to the conditions described
         in Section II.B. of the Proffer and illustrated by the chart at Tab A of the Proffer. (ECF No.
         84-1).

Proffer at 4. These amounts represent compensation for all elements of compensation under
Vaccine Act Section 15(a) to which Petitioner is entitled.

        I approve a Vaccine Program award in the requested amount set forth above to be made to
Petitioner. In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the clerk of
the Court is directed to enter judgment herewith.3

         IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                                                       /s/ Brian H. Corcoran
                                                                          Brian H. Corcoran
                                                                          Special Master

 Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 11(a), the parties may expedite entry of judgment by each filing (either jointly or separately)
a notice renouncing their right to seek review.

HUMAN SERVICES,

                  Respondent.



               RESPONDENT'S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION

         In his Ruling on Entitlement issued on April 9, 2018, the Special Master found that a

preponderance of the evidence supported                             (“petitioner’s”) claim that the influenza

vaccine administered to him on September 23, 2011, caused his transverse myelitis. Respondent

now proffers the following regarding the amount of compensation to be awarded. 1

I.       Items of Compensation

         A.       Life Care Items

         Respondent engaged life care planner Linda Curtis, RN, MS, CCM, CNLCP, and

petitioner engaged Maureen Clancy, RN, BSN, CLCP, to provide an estimation of

future vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this proffer, the term “vaccine-related”

is as described in the Special Master’s Ruling on Entitlement. All items of compensation

identified in the life care plan are supported by the evidence, and are illustrated by the chart




         1
          The parties have no objection to the amount of the proffered award of damages. Assuming the Special
Master issues a damages decision in conformity with this proffer, the parties waive their right to seek review of such
damages decision. However, respondent reserves his right, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(e), to seek review of
the Special Master’s April 9, 2018, Ruling on Entitlement.

                                                         -1-
entitled Appendix A: Items of Compensation for                             , attached hereto as Tab A. 2

Respondent proffers that                      should be awarded all items of compensation set forth in

the life care plan and illustrated by the chart attached at Tab A. Petitioner agrees.

          B.      Lost Earnings

          The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record,                            has suffered past

loss of earnings and will suffer a loss of earnings in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers

that                 should be awarded lost earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C.

§ 300aa-15(a)(3)(A). Respondent proffers that the appropriate award for                                    lost

earnings is $452,407.53. Petitioner agrees.

          C.      Pain and Suffering

          Respondent proffers that                     should be awarded $250,000.00 in actual and

projected pain and suffering. This amount reflects that any award for projected pain and

suffering has been reduced to net present value. See 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioner

agrees.

          D.      Past Unreimbursable Expenses

          Evidence supplied by petitioner documents his expenditure of past unreimbursable

expenses related to his vaccine-related injury. Respondent proffers that petitioner should be

awarded past unreimbursable expenses in the amount of $14,935.79. Petitioner agrees.

II.       Form of the Award

          The parties recommend that the compensation provided to petitioner should be made

through a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below,

and request that the Special Master’s decision and the Court’s judgment award the following: 3


         2
           The chart at Tab A illustrates the annual benefits provided by the life care plan. The annual benefit years
run from the date of judgment up to the first anniversary of the date of judgment, and every year thereafter up to the
anniversary of the date of judgment.

                                                         -2-
         A. A lump sum payment of $902,401.49, representing compensation for life care

expenses expected to be incurred during the first year after judgment ($185,058.17), lost earnings

($452,407.53), pain and suffering ($250,000.00), and past unreimbursable expenses

($14,935.79), in the form of a check payable to petitioner,                            .

         B. An amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract, 4 subject to the conditions

described below, that will provide payments for the life care items contained in the life care plan,

as illustrated by the chart at Tab A, attached hereto, paid to the life insurance company 5 from

which the annuity will be purchased. 6 Compensation for Year Two (beginning on the first

anniversary of the date of judgment) and all subsequent years shall be provided through

respondent’s purchase of an annuity, which annuity shall make payments directly to petitioner,

               , only so long as                    is alive at the time a particular payment is due. At the

Secretary’s sole discretion, the periodic payments may be provided to petitioner in monthly,

quarterly, annual or other installments. The “annual amounts” set forth in the chart at Tab A




         3
           Should petitioner die prior to entry of judgment, the parties reserve the right to move the Court for
appropriate relief. In particular, respondent would oppose any award for future medical expenses, future lost
earnings, and future pain and suffering.
         4
           In respondent’s discretion, respondent may purchase one or more annuity contracts from one or more life
insurance companies.
         5
          The Life Insurance Company must have a minimum of $250,000,000 capital and surplus, exclusive of
any mandatory security valuation reserve. The Life Insurance Company must have one of the following ratings
from two of the following rating organizations:

                  a. A.M. Best Company: A++, A+, A+g, A+p, A+r, or A+s;

                  b. Moody's Investor Service Claims Paying Rating: Aa3, Aa2, Aa1, or Aaa;

                  c. Standard and Poor's Corporation Insurer Claims-Paying Ability Rating: AA-, AA, AA+, or
                  AAA;

                  d. Fitch Credit Rating Company, Insurance Company Claims Paying Ability Rating: AA-, AA,
                  AA+, or AAA.
         6
           Petitioner authorizes the disclosure of certain documents filed by the petitioner in this case consistent
with the Privacy Act and the routine uses described in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program System
of Records, No. 09-15-0056.
                                                         -3-
describe only the total yearly sum to be paid to petitioner and do not require that the payment be

made in one annual installment.

       1.      Growth Rate

       Respondent proffers that a four percent (4%) growth rate should be applied to all non-

medical life care items, and a five percent (5%) growth rate should be applied to all medical life

care items. Thus, the benefits illustrated in the chart at Tab A that are to be paid through annuity

payments should grow as follows: four percent (4%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for non-medical items, and five percent (5%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for medical items. Petitioner agrees.

       2.      Life-contingent annuity

       Petitioner will continue to receive the annuity payments from the Life Insurance

Company only so long as he,                , is alive at the time that a particular payment is due.

Written notice shall be provided to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Life

Insurance Company within twenty (20) days of                     death.

       3.      Guardianship

       Petitioner is a competent adult. Evidence of guardianship is not required in this case.

III.   Summary of Recommended Payments Following Judgment

       A.      Lump Sum paid to petitioner,                :                          $902,401.49

       B.      An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract described
               above in section II.B.
