Anne Tinsley v. HHS - Influenza, neurological injury (2016)

Anne Tinsley filed a petition on May 18, 2015, alleging she sustained a neurological injury as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on September 27, 2014, and suffered residual effects for more than six months. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused petitioner's alleged neurological injury or its current condition.

Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages. The stipulation stated that petitioner would receive $5,500.00 as compensation for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Special Master Thomas L. Gowen found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court, awarding the stipulated amount.

Judgment was entered in accordance with the stipulation. Patricia A.

Finn represented the petitioner, and Adriana R. Teitel represented the respondent.
