Angela Clark v. HHS - Influenza, MALT Lymphoma (2016)

Angela Clark filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that she developed MALT Lymphoma as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on November 3, 2011. She further claimed that she experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused her condition. Despite maintaining their respective positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation.

The stipulation acknowledged that the issues could be resolved and that Angela Clark should be awarded compensation. A separate stipulation addressed attorney's fees and costs.

The court reviewed the stipulations and found them to be reasonable, adopting them as its decision. The award included a lump sum of $116,413.10 for all damages available under the program, payable to Angela Clark.

Additionally, a lump sum of $30,717.87 was awarded for attorney's fees and costs, payable jointly to Angela Clark and her attorney. The total award amounted to $147,130.

The decision was entered on March 7, 2016.
