The public stipulation decision does not describe onset, neurologic findings, imaging, hospitalization, treatment, or expert testimony.\n\nSpecial Master Thomas L. Gowen adopted the parties' stipulation on October 1, 2024. Mr. Perry received $52,500.00 as a lump sum payable to him for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The stipulated resolution compensated the claim without making public findings on whether either vaccine caused the shingles or transverse myelitis.
