Julie K. Beyers v. HHS - Influenza, Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, brachial plexitis, left axillary neuropathy, shoulder girdle dyskinesia with significant middle scalene spasm, tendinitis, and/or subacromial bursitis (2023)

Julie K. Beyers filed a petition on October 2, 2017, alleging that she suffered from Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, brachial plexitis, left axillary neuropathy, shoulder girdle dyskinesia with significant middle scalene spasm, tendinitis, and/or subacromial bursitis as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 30, 2014.

She further alleged that she experienced residual effects of this injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms.

Beyers' alleged injuries or that her current disabilities were a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite maintaining their positions, both parties agreed to settle the case.

A stipulation was filed on June 8, 2023, and the Chief Special Master adopted it as the decision. The stipulation awarded Ms.

Beyers a lump sum of $175,002.19, representing compensation for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The decision was issued on July 7, 2023.
