E.W.H. v. HHS - Influenza, eczema and scarring (2019)

Jessica Williams, mother of E.W.H., filed a claim on January 29, 2019, alleging that her son suffered eczema and scarring as a result of receiving varicella, measles mumps rubella (MMR), diphtheria tetanus acellular pertussis (DTaP), inactivated polio virus (IPV), and influenza (flu) vaccines on May 22, 2014. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that these vaccines caused the alleged injuries.

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

Millman adopted the stipulation and awarded E.W.H. a lump sum of $12,500.00 as compensation for all damages. The decision was issued on January 29, 2019.

Petitioner was represented by Richard Gage, and respondent was represented by Althea Walker Davis.
