Goettl filed a petition on August 2, 2021, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He alleged that he received an influenza vaccine on October 17, 2018, and subsequently developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). Mr. Goettl claimed his condition was either a \"Table injury\" or, in the alternative, was caused-in-fact or significantly aggravated by the flu vaccine, with residual effects lasting over six months. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Goettl's alleged injuries or any aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Despite these opposing positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on April 4, 2024. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision in the case. The stipulation awarded Mr. Goettl a lump sum of $62,500.00, payable by check, as compensation for all damages. This award resolves the case, and judgment is to be entered unless a motion for review is filed. Petitioner was represented by Anne C. Toale, and Respondent was represented by Felicia Langel.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
