Diana Sands Johnson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Miller Fisher Syndrome and tibial nerve palsy (2018)

Diana Sands Johnson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that she suffered Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Miller Fisher Syndrome, and tibial nerve palsy as a result of an influenza vaccine she received on September 8, 2015. She further alleged that her injuries lasted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that her alleged conditions were caused in fact by the vaccination. However, on August 10, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Diana Sands Johnson was awarded a lump sum payment of $135,000.00 and an additional $20,076.22 to satisfy a West Virginia Medicaid lien, representing compensation for all available damages.

The court directed that judgment be entered in accordance with this decision.
