David M. Reyburne v. HHS - Influenza, brachial neuritis (2016)

David M. Reyburne filed a petition on September 13, 2016, alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 6, 2012, caused him to develop brachial neuritis, with residual effects lasting more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Reyburne's brachial neuritis or any other injury.

Despite the denial, the parties reached a settlement through a stipulation. Special Master Laura D.

Millman reviewed the stipulation and found its terms to be reasonable. The court adopted the stipulation and awarded Mr.

Reyburne a lump sum of $105,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This award was made payable to Mr.

Reyburne. The decision was issued on September 13, 2016, and the public decision was filed on October 11, 2016.

Ramon Rodriguez, III, represented the petitioner, and Lara A. Englund represented the respondent.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case.
