Randall Carlson v. HHS - Influenza, vasculitis (2016)

Randall Carlson filed a petition on December 31, 2014, alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on January 10, 2013, caused him to suffer from vasculitis. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused the alleged injury.

On August 16, 2016, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that the petitioner should receive compensation. Special Master Lisa Hamilton-Fieldman found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the court.

Randall Carlson was awarded a lump sum of $50,000.00 as compensation for all damages. The decision was finalized on August 17, 2016.
