Navid Nourani v. HHS - Influenza, pain, numbness, and weakness in his right arm (2016)

On November 24, 2014, Navid Nourani filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that an influenza vaccination received on September 18, 2012, caused him to suffer pain, numbness, and weakness in his right arm, with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccination caused the alleged injuries.

Despite this denial, the parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement. Special Master Thomas L.

Gowen reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. The stipulation provided for a total award of $66,000.

This amount included a lump sum of $57,820.90 for damages, payable to Navid Nourani, and a lump sum of $8,175.60 for attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to Navid Nourani and his attorney, Andrew D. Downing.

The decision was issued on June 6, 2016. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical examinations, diagnostic tests, or treatments.

The case was treated as a Table claim.
