Kaylan Brodnax v. HHS - Influenza, transverse myelitis (2018)

Kaylan Brodnax filed a petition on December 29, 2016, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Petitioner alleged that she suffered from transverse myelitis (TM) as a result of an influenza vaccine received on October 7, 2014, and that she experienced residual effects from the condition for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's TM or any other injury. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on August 6, 2018.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision.

The stipulation awarded Kaylan Brodnax a lump sum of $55,000.00 as compensation for all damages. The decision was issued on August 9, 2018.

Petitioner's counsel was David Joseph Schexnaydre. Respondent's counsel was Robert Paul Coleman, III.
