His personal representative filed a petition on July 30, 2020, alleging that Mr. Waldron developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in relation to this vaccination, and that this condition resulted in his death. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Waldron's GBS or his death. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that compensation should be awarded. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, the court awarded $140,000.00 as a lump sum payable to the petitioner as the legal representative of Mr. Waldron's estate. This amount is intended to compensate for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision was entered on November 18, 2024.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Daniel T.
