Brenda Hutton v. HHS - Tdap, neuralgia related to injection (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
Brenda Hutton filed a petition on November 13, 2018, alleging that a Tdap vaccine administered on March 20, 2017, caused neuralgia related to injection. The public stipulation materials do not describe the full medical course of the neuralgia claim.
Respondent denied that Ms. Hutton sustained neuralgia related to injection, denied that the alleged injury was caused-in-fact by the Tdap vaccine, and denied that the vaccine caused any other injury or current condition.
The parties nevertheless filed a stipulation on January 2, 2025. Special Master Herbrina D.S.
Young adopted the stipulation that same day. Ms.
Hutton received $57,000.00 in compensation plus $2,500.00 in additional stipulated compensation, for a total injury award of $59,500.00. A later fee decision concerned attorney fees and costs only.
Ms. Hutton was represented by Ronald Craig Homer of Conway Homer, P.C. in Boston, Massachusetts.
