Juan Manuel Silva v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) (2021)

Juan Manuel Silva filed a petition on December 7, 2018, alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on March 5, 2018, caused him to suffer from Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and its residual effects for more than six months. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused GBS or any other injury, and also denied that the injury was a Table injury.

Nevertheless, on March 4, 2021, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation to Mr. Silva.

The stipulation stated that Mr. Silva would receive a lump sum of $30,000.00 for all damages.

Special Master Herbrina Sanders found the stipulation reasonable, adopted it as the decision of the Court, and ordered that judgment be entered in accordance with its terms. Petitioner's counsel was Paul A.

Green. Respondent's counsel was Mollie D.

Gorney.
