Tina Lazicki v. HHS - Tdap, left arm pain, numbness, tingling, and paresthesia, and/or neuropathic pain syndrome (2017)

On July 21, 2015, Tina Lazicki filed a Vaccine Program petition after receiving a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine on August 1, 2012. She alleged that the vaccination caused left arm pain, numbness, tingling, paresthesia, and/or neuropathic pain syndrome, and that the residual effects lasted more than six months.

The public decision was entered on a joint stipulation and gives only the core medical allegations. It does not describe when Lazicki first noticed symptoms, what testing or treatment she received, or how the condition progressed.

Respondent denied that the Tdap vaccine caused the left arm pain, numbness, tingling, paresthesia, neuropathic pain syndrome, or any other injury. The parties filed a joint stipulation on August 16, 2017.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found it reasonable and adopted it that day. Lazicki was awarded a lump sum of $90,000.00, payable to her, representing all damages available under section 15(a).

She was represented by Mark T. Sadaka of Mark T.
