Lee R. Campbell, M.D. v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2018)

On December 29, 2016, Dr. Lee R.

Campbell filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Dr.

Campbell alleged that he suffered from Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a result of an influenza vaccination administered on November 3, 2014. He stated that the vaccine was administered in the United States, that he experienced residual effects for more than six months, and that no prior civil action had been filed for damages.

The respondent denied that the flu immunization caused his alleged GBS or any other injury. Nevertheless, on May 31, 2018, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the Court's decision. Dr.

Campbell was awarded a lump sum of $200,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.

Petitioner counsel was Dustin Francis Fregiato of Ladendorf Law, and respondent counsel was Camille Michelle Collett of the U.S. Department of Justice.
