Bruce Isenor v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (“GBS”) (2021)

Bruce Isenor filed a petition on December 30, 2019, alleging that the Prevnar 13 and Tetanus vaccines he received on November 19, 2018, caused him to suffer Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and its residual effects for more than six months. The respondent denied that the vaccines caused GBS or any other injury.

The parties filed a joint stipulation on June 15, 2021, agreeing to compensation. The stipulation stated that the vaccines are on the Vaccine Injury Table.

The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding a lump sum of $130,000.00 for combined first-year life care expenses, pain and suffering, and past unreimbursable expenses. An additional amount was awarded to purchase an annuity contract.

The case was compensated based on the stipulation. Petitioner counsel was Kathleen M.

Loucks, and respondent counsel was Darryl R. Wishard.

Special Master Christian J. Moran issued the decision on June 17, 2021.
