Renee Lynn Pennington v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2017)

Renee Lynn Pennington filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 6, 2015. She alleged Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) following an influenza vaccination on September 29, 2014, and a Hepatitis B vaccination on November 5, 2014.

The respondent denied that the vaccines caused petitioner's GBS or any other injury. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages on May 24, 2017.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Renee Lynn Pennington was awarded a lump sum of $125,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages.

The decision was issued by Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey.
