Petitioner alleged that she developed irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, myalgias, chronic pain, dizziness, headaches, cognitive impairments, and chronic debilitating fatigue after receiving an influenza vaccination on or about September 16, 2010.

On April 6, 2016, they filed a joint stipulation outlining the settlement terms.
