Diane Peschio v. HHS - Influenza, brachial neuritis (Parsonage Turner syndrome) (2017)

Diane Peschio filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered brachial neuritis, also known as Parsonage Turner syndrome, as a result of an influenza vaccine she received on September 25, 2012. She further alleged that she experienced residual effects from the condition for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused her condition. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on July 22, 2016, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. The stipulation awarded Diane Peschio a lump sum of $125,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was entered on December 11, 2017, with the petition having been filed on July 25, 2016.
