John M. Dallas v. HHS - Influenza, suspected Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (2016)

John M. Dallas filed a petition on July 12, 2016, alleging that his receipt of an influenza vaccine on January 20, 2014, caused him to develop symptoms of neurological injury, specifically suspected Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, and that he experienced residual effects for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused the petitioner to suffer a neurological injury, Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, or any other injury, and further denied that the flu vaccine caused the petitioner's current disabilities. Despite the denials, the parties reached a stipulation to resolve the case.

Special Master Laura D. Millman reviewed the stipulation and found its terms to be reasonable.

The court adopted the stipulation and awarded Mr. Dallas $10,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The award was to be paid as a check for $10,000.00 made payable to the petitioner. The decision was issued on July 12, 2016, and was made public on August 2, 2016.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, clinical details, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case. Petitioner counsel was Richard H.

Moeller, and respondent counsel was Traci R. Patton.
