Andrew Funk v. HHS - Influenza, inflammatory neuropathy (2020)

Andrew Funk filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 24, 2014, alleging he developed inflammatory neuropathy after receiving hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal conjugate, and influenza vaccinations on December 13, 2011. The petition also mentioned an adenovirus vaccination, which is not covered by the program.

On that same date, Mr. Funk also received a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccination and a pneumococcal conjugate vaccination.

He received a second dose of hepatitis A and B vaccines, along with a polio vaccination, on January 12, 2012. Respondent denied that the vaccinations caused his alleged injuries.

However, the parties reached a settlement agreement. On April 7, 2020, they filed a joint stipulation agreeing to resolve the case.

Respondent agreed to pay Mr. Funk a lump sum of $20,000.00 as compensation for all available damages.

The Special Master adopted the stipulation and directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
