Jacquelyne Estes v. HHS - Tdap, arm injury (2014)

Jacquelyne Estes filed a petition on January 24, 2014, alleging that she suffered an arm injury as a result of receiving a Tdap vaccination on March 6, 2010. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the alleged injury.

However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on January 24, 2014. The stipulation awarded Jacquelyne Estes a lump sum payment of $55,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The Special Master reviewed the file and found the stipulation to be reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the proceeding and approving the award.
