Randy LeBlanc v. HHS - Hepatitis A, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2021)

Randy LeBlanc, an adult, filed a petition on May 18, 2018, alleging he suffered from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) as a result of Hepatitis A and/or Hepatitis B vaccines received on January 5, 2016, January 12, 2016, and February 2, 2016. Mr.

LeBlanc later passed away, and Jason Christensen was substituted as the Personal Representative of his estate on July 19, 2019. The estate alleged that Mr.

LeBlanc's death was a sequela of his alleged vaccine-related injury. The Respondent denied that the vaccines caused Mr.

LeBlanc's CIDP, any other injury, or his death. However, both parties entered into a stipulation on July 6, 2021, agreeing that the issues could be settled and that compensation should be awarded.

The court reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as its decision. The stipulation awarded a lump sum of $130,000.00 to the petitioner.

The decision was issued on September 1, 2021.
