Bisera Muratovic v. HHS - Tdap, complex regional pain syndrome (2024)

Bisera Muratovic filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that she suffered complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) caused by a Tdap vaccine she received on September 17, 2018. She stated that she received the vaccine in the United States, continues to suffer residual effects, and has not filed a civil action or received other compensation.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Muratovic is entitled to compensation.

The respondent concluded that she suffered CRPS, which was more likely than not caused by the Tdap vaccine administered in her left shoulder, and that she satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the Chief Special Master found that Ms.

Muratovic is entitled to compensation. The case is proceeding to determine the award amount.
