He specifically alleged PTS after a flu vaccine administered on October 11, 2019. The petition was filed on December 30, 2020, with an amended petition filed on December 16, 2022, clarifying the PTS claim. Mr. Bowen alleged the vaccine was administered in the United States and that he suffered residual effects for more than six months, with no prior civil action or compensation filed. The respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused Mr. Bowen's alleged PTS or any other injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation on May 20, 2024, agreeing to settle the case. The Chief Special Master adopted the stipulation as the decision awarding damages. Mr. Bowen was awarded a lump sum of $60,000.00, representing compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a) of the Vaccine Act. The stipulation noted that the influenza vaccine is contained in the Vaccine Injury Table. The parties also agreed to submit to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
