Firas Ido v. HHS - Tdap, brachial neuritis/plexopathy (2025)

Firas Ido filed a petition on January 12, 2021, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He alleged that he suffered from brachial neuritis/plexopathy as a result of a Tdap vaccination received on June 24, 2019, and an influenza vaccine received on November 30, 2022.

The respondent denied that the vaccines caused the petitioner's condition or its residual effects. Despite maintaining their positions, both parties entered into a joint stipulation on August 5, 2025, agreeing that the case could be settled and that compensation should be awarded.

The court reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as its decision. The stipulation awarded Firas Ido a lump sum of $10,000.00, to be paid through an ACH deposit to his counsel's IOLTA account for prompt disbursement.

This award is intended to compensate for all damages available under the program. The decision directs that judgment be entered unless a motion for review is filed.
