David A. Johnson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) (2017)

David A. Johnson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on May 25, 2016.

He alleged that an influenza vaccine he received on September 28, 2015, caused him to suffer Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and its residual effects for more than six months. The respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused his GBS or any other injury.

However, on April 4, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

David A. Johnson was awarded a lump sum of $200,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses. Ezra A.

Johnson represented the petitioner, and Sarah Christina Duncan represented the respondent.
