                            DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1

Roth, Special Master:

        On December 16, 2014, Jeanne Bailey [“Ms. Bailey,” or “petitioner”] filed a petition for
compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.2 Petitioner alleges that
she developed a shoulder injury after receiving an influenza vaccination on December 17, 2012.
See Stipulation, filed May 31, 2017, at ¶¶ 1-4. Respondent denies that the influenza
immunization caused petitioner’s injury. Stipulation at ¶ 6.

  Because this unpublished decision contains a reasoned explanation for the action in this case, I
intend to post this decision on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, in accordance
with the E-Government Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-347, § 205, 116 Stat. 2899, 2913 (codified
as amended at 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012)). In accordance with Vaccine Rule 18(b), a party
has 14 days to identify and move to delete medical or other information, that satisfies the criteria
in 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(d)(4)(B). Further, consistent with the rule requirement, a motion for
redaction must include a proposed redacted decision. If, upon review, I agree that the identified
material fits within the requirements of that provision, I will delete such material from public
access.

Hereinafter, for ease of citation, all “§” references to the Vaccine Act will be to the pertinent
subparagraph of 42 U.S.C. § 300aa (2012).

         Nevertheless, the parties have agreed to settle the case. On May 31, 2017, the parties
filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle this case and describing the settlement terms.

Respondent agrees to issue the following payment:

           A lump sum of $200,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioner, Jeanne
           Bailey. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available
           under § 300aa-15(a).

       I adopt the parties’ stipulation attached hereto, and award compensation in the amount
and on the terms set forth therein. The clerk of the court is directed to enter judgment in
accordance with this decision.3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
