Bethany Webb v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain Barre Syndrome (2022)

On November 20, 2018, Bethany Webb filed a petition for vaccine compensation alleging that an influenza vaccine caused her to develop Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). The record did not contain sufficient evidence to support an award under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The petitioner did not demonstrate a "Table Injury," which is an injury listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, nor was there persuasive evidence indicating that the GBS was vaccine-caused. The petition was not supported by adequate medical records or a competent physician's opinion.

On May 2, 2022, the petitioner filed a Motion for Dismissal Decision. Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth issued a decision on May 4, 2022, dismissing the case for insufficient proof.

The petitioner was represented by Bridget C. McCullough, Esq., and the respondent was represented by Sarah Duncan, Esq.

The decision was originally filed on May 4, 2022.
