Dung Tran v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2021)

Dung Tran filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on August 27, 2019, alleging that he developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) caused by his tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccination on July 22, 2017. Mr.

Tran was awarded a lump sum of $70,000.00, payable by check, as compensation for all items of damages. The decision was issued on June 8, 2021.

Ronald Craig Homer represented the petitioner, and Lynn Christina Schlie represented the respondent. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.
