Albert Wilson v. HHS - Tdap, brachial neuritis (Parsonage Turner Syndrome) (2018)

Albert Wilson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he suffered brachial neuritis, also known as Parsonage Turner Syndrome, as a result of a Tetanus Diphtheria acellular Pertussis (Tdap) vaccine he received on May 21, 2015. He claimed that his injuries lasted for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the Tdap vaccine caused Mr. Wilson's condition.

Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr.

Wilson a lump sum of $71,350.00. This amount was intended to cover all damages available under the Vaccine Act.

The Tdap vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, and the case proceeded as a Table claim. The decision was issued on April 5, 2018, based on the joint stipulation filed on June 26, 2017.

The petition was originally filed on June 13, 2016.
