Edgar Jones v. HHS - Influenza, mononeuropathy of the right radial nerve (2024)

Edgar Jones filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on November 9, 2018, caused him to suffer from mononeuropathy of the right radial nerve. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that Mr.

Jones sustained this injury or that the vaccine caused his alleged right shoulder injury or any other sequela. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to an award of compensation for Mr.

Jones. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Mr. Jones was awarded a lump sum of $32,000, which represents compensation for all damages available under the program.

The parties also agreed to waive their right to seek review, expediting the entry of judgment. The decision was issued on July 19, 2024, following the petition filed on April 28, 2020.
