                                     RULING ON ENTITLEMENT1

       On April 16, 2019, Lisa Wooden-Moore 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 shoulder injury related to vaccine
administration (“SIRVA”) as a result of an influenza (“flu”) vaccine administered on
November 13, 2017. Petition at 1. The case was assigned to the Special Processing
Unit of the Office of Special Masters.

required to post it on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website in accordance with the E-
Government Act of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012) (Federal Management and Promotion of
Electronic Government Services). This means the ruling 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.

SIRVA that was caused by the administration of petitioner’s flu vaccine on November
13, 2017.” Id. at 4. Respondent further agrees that he “did not identify any other
causes for petitioner’s SIRVA” and “petitioner meets the statutory requirements by
suffering the condition for more than six months.” Id.

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
