Robert Petterson v. HHS - Influenza, brachial neuritis (2016)

Robert Petterson filed a petition on February 25, 2016, alleging that he suffered from brachial neuritis caused by an influenza vaccine he received on September 12, 2012. He further claimed that the residual effects of this injury persisted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Petterson's brachial neuritis or any other injury, and also denied that the vaccine caused his current disabilities.

Despite these denials, the parties reached a stipulation to resolve the case. Special Master Laura D.

Millman adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr. Petterson $75,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The award was to be paid as a lump sum check made payable to the petitioner. The decision was issued on February 25, 2016.

Kyle M. Moore represented the petitioner, and Darryl R.

Wishard represented the respondent.
