He stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that he experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that he had no prior award or settlement for his condition. Respondent Health and Human Services denied that the alleged GBS was caused-in-fact by the flu vaccination. Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on November 28, 2017, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The Chief Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision. Talat Pervez was awarded a lump sum of $90,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in accordance with the decision, unless a motion for review was filed.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Bruce William Slane","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Law Office of Bruce W.
