Barbara Glover v. HHS - Influenza, transverse myelitis (2022)

Barbara Glover filed a petition on June 19, 2020, alleging that she developed transverse myelitis (TM) as a result of an influenza vaccine administered on October 18, 2018. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused Ms.

Glover's TM or any other injury. The parties reached a stipulation for compensation, which the Special Master adopted.

As part of the stipulation, Ms. Glover was awarded a lump sum of $70,000, representing compensation for all damages.

The parties agreed to this stipulation to resolve the case, with the respondent maintaining its denial of causation. The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific clinical details, diagnostic tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.

The decision was issued by Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey on August 24, 2022.
