Terry Lee Colver v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) (2023)

Terry Lee Colver filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging he suffered Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) following an influenza vaccine administered on September 13, 2017. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, reviewed the case and conceded that Mr.

Colver was entitled to compensation. An initial ruling on entitlement was issued on April 12, 2021, confirming his eligibility.

Subsequently, on April 20, 2023, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation. Mr.

Colver, who is a competent adult, agreed with the proposed award. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Mr.

Colver a lump sum payment of $124,500.00 for pain and suffering, representing all damages available under the Vaccine Act. The case proceeded as a Table injury claim, and the respondent conceded entitlement based on the medical records.
