The petition alleged that an influenza vaccine administered to A.H. on January 27, 2014, caused neurological injuries, including cerebellitis, neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) variants, with residual effects lasting more than six months. The influenza vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused or aggravated A.H.'s alleged injuries. The parties subsequently reached a joint stipulation for settlement, which Special Master Christian J. Moran adopted as the decision of the Court on April 4, 2018. The stipulation awarded A.H. a total of $2,336,929.99. This amount comprised a lump sum of $216,561.11 for first-year life care expenses and pain and suffering, and a lump sum of $17,131.88 for past unreimbursable expenses. Additionally, an amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract for future expenses was awarded. The annuity payments were structured to cover various future expenses, including insurance premiums, medical services, therapy, and equipment, with specific annual amounts, lump sums, and percentage increases over many years, extending for the remainder of A.H.'s life. The settlement stipulated that it was not an admission by the government that the vaccine caused A.H.'s injuries. Petitioner counsel was Ronald C. Homer & Christina M. Ciampolillo of Conway, Homer, P.C., and respondent counsel was Jason C. Bougere of the United States Department of Justice. The decision was issued by Special Master Christian J. Moran.","is_minor_inferred":1,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Christian J.
