Javier Jimenez Rosas v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2023)

Javier Jimenez Rosas filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on October 10, 2017. The respondent conceded that Mr.

Rosas's GBS satisfied the criteria of the Vaccine Injury Table, and therefore conceded his entitlement to compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on June 11, 2020, finding him entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on November 22, 2022, the parties filed a proffer on the award of damages. The respondent proffered that Mr.

Rosas should be awarded $205,000.00 for actual and projected pain and suffering, and $563,184.43 to satisfy a State of California Medicaid lien. Mr.

Rosas, who is a competent adult, agreed with the proffered award. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding compensation totaling $768,184.43 on January 3, 2023.
