She alleged that she suffered Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a result of an influenza vaccination she received on November 15, 2011. Ms. Rosenfield further alleged that she experienced residual effects from the injury for over six months and had not received any prior award or settlement for this condition. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the influenza vaccine caused Ms. Rosenfield's GBS or any other injury or disability. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation on November 30, 2015. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. The parties stipulated that Ms. Rosenfield would receive a lump sum of $80,000.00, payable to her, as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. Following this decision, on December 11, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation concerning attorneys' fees and costs. They agreed to an award of $16,493.20. Chief Special Master Dorsey granted this request, awarding the total amount as a lump sum payable jointly to Judith Rosenfield and her counsel, Howard Scott Gold of Gold Law Firm, LLC. The case was resolved through these stipulations and decisions.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Howard Scott Gold","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Gold Law Firm, LLC","petitioner_attorney_location":"Wellesley Hills, MA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|howard-gold|","firm_canonical_key":"gold-law-firm","package_title":"ROSENFIELD v.
