Renate Davison v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2017)

Renate Davison filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered from Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) following an influenza vaccination on October 13, 2014. The petition stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that her injury caused residual effects for more than six months, and that she had not received any prior award or settlement for her condition.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Davison's GBS or any other injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages, agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Ms. Davison was awarded a lump sum of $150,713.19, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The decision was entered on April 26, 2017.
