Roberta Green v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (2015)

Roberta Green filed a petition on November 21, 2013, alleging that a trivalent influenza vaccine she received on October 11, 2011, caused her to develop Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused petitioner's GBS or any other injury.

The parties subsequently agreed to a joint stipulation filed on May 1, 2015, to settle the case. Special Master Christian J.

Moran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Petitioner Roberta Green was awarded a lump sum of $165,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a).

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, clinical details, or expert testimony.
