David D. Greer v. HHS - Pneumococcal, brachial plexopathy (2023)

David D. Greer filed a petition on December 21, 2018, alleging he suffered nerve palsy from an influenza vaccine administered on November 11, 2015, and brachial plexopathy from a pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar) vaccine administered on February 7, 2017.

Petitioner later amended his petition on May 15, 2020, to pursue only the brachial plexopathy claim related to the Prevnar vaccine. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused Petitioner's alleged injury or any other injury, and denied that his current disabilities were sequelae of a vaccine-related injury.

Despite these denials, the parties reached a stipulation for compensation. Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court.

The stipulation awarded David D. Greer a lump sum of $46,500.00, payable to Petitioner, intended to compensate for all damages available under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The parties agreed to waive their right to seek review of the decision, and judgment was entered accordingly. Petitioner was represented by Richard H.

Moeller of Moore, Heffernan, et al., and Respondent was represented by Mitchell Jones of the U.S. Department of Justice.

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