Arthur Renfro v. HHS - Tdap, vaccine-induced allergic reaction, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic hematoma, chronic pain of left thumb, chronic pain of left wrist, chronic pain of left shoulder, chronic pain of left arm, nerve impingement, neuropathy, exacerbated left thumb carpometacarpal arthrosis, and depression with chronic pain (2022)

Arthur Renfro filed a petition alleging that a Tdap vaccine administered on September 22, 2016, caused him to suffer a vaccine-induced allergic reaction, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic hematoma, chronic pain in his left thumb, wrist, shoulder, and arm, nerve impingement, neuropathy, exacerbated left thumb carpometacarpal arthrosis, and depression with chronic pain. The petition was filed on May 3, 2018.

Respondent denied that the Tdap vaccine caused petitioner's alleged injuries. However, the parties reached a stipulation for an award of compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Arthur Renfro was awarded a lump sum of $70,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

The parties agreed to waive their right to seek review, and judgment was entered accordingly.
