Glenn Henderson v. HHS - Tdap, injection site injury and a systemic multi-symptomatic immune-mediated neurological response and/or complex regional pain syndrome (2014)

On July 30, 2014, petitioner Glenn Henderson filed a petition alleging that on July 29, 2011, he received a Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, which caused an injection site injury and a systemic multi-symptomatic immune-mediated neurological response and/or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The respondent conceded that the Tdap vaccine caused an injection site injury but denied causation for any other injury.

The parties subsequently reached a stipulation to resolve the case. Special Master Laura D.

Millman adopted the stipulation, awarding Glenn Henderson $475,000.00 for all damages. The decision was filed on July 31, 2014.

In a separate decision filed on August 20, 2014, Special Master Millman awarded $55,000.00 for attorneys' fees and costs, based on a stipulation. This award was made payable jointly to petitioner and petitioner's counsel, Edward Kraus.

The total compensation awarded was $530,000.00. The public decision does not describe the petitioner's specific onset of symptoms, clinical course, diagnostic tests, or treatments.

Petitioner was represented by Edward M. Kraus, and respondent was represented by Gordon E.
