Andrew Trujillo v. HHS - Tdap, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2021)

Andrew Trujillo filed a petition on June 5, 2018, alleging that the Tdap vaccine he received on July 25, 2015, caused him to develop chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and that he experienced residual effects for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused Mr.

Trujillo's CIDP or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a stipulation for award on November 9, 2021.

In the stipulation, they agreed that Mr. Trujillo should receive compensation.

The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the court. Mr.

Trujillo was awarded a lump sum of $60,000.00 as compensation for all damages. The parties jointly filed notice renouncing the right to seek review, and judgment was entered accordingly.
