Raven Tubbs v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) (2025)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On October 31, 2019, Raven Tubbs filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 20, 2016 caused Guillain-Barre syndrome. The public stipulation identifies her as an adult petitioner but does not state her exact age.
Respondent denied that Ms. Tubbs had established onset within the Vaccine Injury Table interval, denied vaccine causation, and denied that her current condition was a vaccine-related sequela.
The public stipulation does not describe her first symptoms, diagnostic studies, hospitalization, treatment, rehabilitation, or long-term residual problems. The parties resolved the case by joint stipulation.
On December 10, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded Ms.
Tubbs a lump sum of $350,000.00 for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
