Connie Glaholt v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) (2023)

Connie Glaholt filed a petition on January 6, 2021, alleging that she suffered from Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) as a result of either the pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar 13) or influenza vaccine, or that these vaccines significantly aggravated a pre-existing condition. She further alleged that her symptoms persisted for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused or aggravated her condition. Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for compensation.

The Special Master, Christian J. Moran, reviewed and approved the stipulation, awarding Connie Glaholt a lump sum of $90,000.00, payable by check, for all damages.

The decision was filed on August 11, 2023. Petitioner counsel was William Patrick Ronan, III, and respondent counsel was Zoe Wade.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset date, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, or the medical mechanism of injury. There is no mention of expert witnesses in the provided text.
