Mr. Santoro further alleged that he suffered residual effects from this condition for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Santoro's CIDP or any other injury. The parties subsequently reached a joint stipulation for compensation, which Special Master Christian J. Moran adopted as the decision of the Court on November 30, 2023. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or the mechanism by which the vaccine allegedly caused the CIDP. The public decision also does not name any expert witnesses for either party. Under the terms of the stipulation, Mr. Santoro was awarded a lump sum of $150,000.00, payable by check to the petitioner, as compensation for all damages.
