Mark A. Haynes v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2024)

On October 8, 2019, Mark A. Haynes filed a petition later amended to allege that an influenza vaccination administered on November 20, 2018 caused chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Haynes's CIDP or any other injury and denied that his ongoing condition was a sequela of vaccination.

The public stipulation and proffer materials do not describe his first neurologic symptoms, diagnostic testing, immunotherapy, hospital or rehabilitation course, or long-term limitations. Special Master Herbrina D.

Sanders adopted the parties' stipulation on September 30, 2024. The award totaled $360,235.92: a $256,996.40 lump sum to Mr.

Haynes for first-year life-care expenses of $6,996.40 plus combined lost earnings and pain and suffering of $250,000.00, and $103,239.52 to satisfy a Medicaid lien held by the Arkansas Department of Human Services.
