Marlie Eddia Dulaurier v. HHS - Influenza, anaphylaxis with vocal cord paralysis (2017)

Marlie Eddia Dulaurier, an adult, received an influenza vaccine on December 11, 2012. She later developed anaphylaxis with vocal cord paralysis.

The petition was initially filed by Dr. Dulaurier on November 24, 2014.

Following Dr. Dulaurier's death on December 26, 2015, Waleska Augustin, as personal representative of the estate, filed an amended petition.

The petitioner alleged that the flu vaccine caused anaphylaxis with vocal cord paralysis, Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) and/or Transverse Myelitis (TM), gastroparesis, and death. Respondent conceded that the flu vaccine caused anaphylaxis with vocal cord paralysis lasting more than six months but denied that it caused GBS, TM, gastroparesis, or death.

The parties filed a joint stipulation for damages, agreeing that the petitioner should receive $500,000.00 as compensation for all damages. The Special Master adopted the stipulation and ordered judgment entered accordingly.
