Suzanne Dyer v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2019)

Suzanne Dyer filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a result of an influenza vaccine received on October 1, 2014. The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.

A ruling on entitlement was issued on March 9, 2018, finding Ms. Dyer entitled to compensation for GBS.

Subsequently, on March 8, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation, recommending an award of $190,000.00. The respondent represented that Ms.

Dyer agreed with this proffered award. The decision confirms that Ms.

Dyer is a competent adult and that the vaccine was administered in the United States. Based on the record and the proffer, the Chief Special Master awarded Ms.

Dyer a lump sum payment of $190,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The clerk of the court was directed to enter judgment accordingly.
