Mr. Burt further alleged that he experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the Tdap vaccine caused Mr. Burt's brachial neuritis or any other injury. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on July 5, 2017, agreeing to an award of compensation. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable. The court awarded Kyle Burt a lump sum of $40,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner. This amount was determined to represent compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was entered on January 23, 2018. The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific clinical details, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
