Mark T. Moore v. HHS - Tdap, Guillain-Barré syndrome (2020)

Mark T. Moore filed a petition for compensation on August 28, 2018, alleging that the Tdap vaccine he received on August 9, 2017, caused him to develop Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).

He further alleged that he suffered residual effects from the GBS for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused or aggravated Mr.

Moore's condition. The parties subsequently reached a joint stipulation, which was filed on September 23, 2020.

Special Master Christian J. Moran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court.

The stipulation awarded Mr. Moore a lump sum payment of $107,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The decision was issued on September 23, 2020. Petitioner was represented by Summer P.

Abel of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant, PLLC, and respondent was represented by Christine M.

Becer of the United States Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses involved in this case.
