He alleged that he suffered Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a result of an influenza vaccination received on January 3, 2018. Mr. Nocille claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, that his injury had residual effects lasting more than six months, and that he had not received a prior award or settlement for this injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr. Nocille sustained a GBS Table injury or that his alleged GBS and residual effects were caused-in-fact by the flu vaccine. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on January 26, 2021, agreeing that compensation should be awarded. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision. Mr. Nocille was awarded a lump sum of $195,000.00, payable by check to the Petitioner, as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific clinical details, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
