Mr. Clendon was an adult at the time of vaccination. Following Mr. Clendon's death, his wife, Charla Clendon, was substituted as the personal representative of his estate and continued as the petitioner. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused or significantly aggravated Mr. Clendon's alleged CIDP, any other injury, or his subsequent death. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties reached a stipulation for compensation. Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. The stipulation awarded the estate $75,000.00 in a lump sum, payable to Charla Clendon as the legal representative of the Estate of Edward Alexander Clendon. This amount was intended to cover all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was based on this stipulation, and judgment was to be entered accordingly, provided no motion for review was filed. The petitioner was represented by Nancy R. Meyers of Turning Point Litigation, and the respondent was represented by Zoe Wade of the U.S. Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific clinical details, diagnostic tests, treatments, or the mechanism of causation.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Nancy R.
