Steven Marshall v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (2023)

Steven Marshall filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 19, 2021. He alleged that the influenza vaccine he received on October 11, 2018, caused him to suffer from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Marshall's CIDP or any other injury.

Despite this denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing that Mr. Marshall should receive compensation.

Special Master Herbrina Sanders found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Mr.

Marshall was awarded a lump sum of $85,000.00 as compensation for all damages, payable to Petitioner. The parties agreed to expedite the entry of judgment by waiving the right to seek review.

Petitioner's counsel was Laura Levenberg, and respondent's counsel was Nina Ren.
