Gregory Seei v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (2024)

On November 2, 2018, Gregory Seei filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Mr.

Seei alleged that the influenza vaccine he received on November 17, 2016, and the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines he received on November 28, 2016, caused him to suffer from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused or significantly aggravated Mr.

Seei's alleged CIDP and residual effects, or any other injury. Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation on February 8, 2024, agreeing that Mr.

Seei should be awarded compensation. Special Master Herbrina Sanders found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Mr. Seei was awarded a lump sum of $20,000.00, payable to him, as compensation for all damages available under the program.

The decision was entered on February 8, 2024, based on the parties' stipulation. Petitioner's counsel was Jonathan J.

Svitak of Shannon Law Group, P.C., and respondent's counsel was Voris E. Johnson of the United States Department of Justice.

The public decision does not describe the onset, symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
