Mark Greenberg v. HHS - Hepatitis B, transverse myelitis (2019)

Mark Greenberg filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 9, 2017, alleging that he developed transverse myelitis after receiving hepatitis B vaccinations on or about April 7, 2014, May 7, 2014, and October 7, 2014. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccinations caused Mr.

Greenberg's alleged injury. The parties reached a settlement agreement, and on February 7, 2019, they filed a joint stipulation outlining the terms.

As part of the settlement, the respondent agreed to issue payments, including a lump sum of $501,224.00 payable to Mark Greenberg as compensation for all damages. The stipulation also included an amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract.

Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth adopted the stipulation and awarded compensation in the agreed-upon amount and terms, directing the clerk of the court to enter judgment accordingly. The decision was designated "unpublished" but posted on the Court of Federal Claims' website in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002, with parties having fourteen days to object to the inclusion of confidential information.
