He alleged that the influenza vaccine he received on October 8, 2014, caused him to develop Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and 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 flu vaccine caused Mr. Sedlacek's CIDP or any other injury. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties reached a stipulation for an award. Special Master Herbrina Sanders found the stipulation to be reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Mr. Sedlacek was awarded a lump sum of $230,000.00, payable by check to Petitioner, as compensation for all damages. The parties jointly filed notice renouncing the right to seek review, which expedited the entry of judgment. Ronald C. Homer represented the Petitioner, and Daniel A. Principato represented the Respondent. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or the medical experts consulted.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Herbrina Sanders Young","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Ronald C.
