Heather C. Williams v. HHS - Influenza, Parsonage Turner Syndrome (2017)

On December 16, 2014, Heather C. Williams filed a Vaccine Program petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 8, 2013 caused Parsonage Turner Syndrome.

She also alleged that she experienced residual effects for more than six months. The public decision is a stipulation decision and contains limited clinical detail.

It identifies the vaccine, the date, the alleged Parsonage Turner Syndrome, and the duration allegation, but it does not describe symptom onset, examinations, diagnostic studies, treatment, or expert analysis. Respondent denied that the flu vaccination caused Williams's alleged Parsonage Turner Syndrome or any other injury or condition.

The parties nevertheless filed a stipulation on January 30, 2017 resolving the case. Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the file, found the stipulation reasonable, and adopted it on January 31, 2017. Williams was awarded a lump sum of $80,000.00, payable to her, representing all damages available under section 15(a).

She was represented by Franklin John Caldwell, Jr. of Maglio, Christopher & Toale in Sarasota, Florida.
