Corletta LaGrange v. HHS - Influenza, transverse myelitis and lower extremity impairment (2025)

Corletta LaGrange filed a petition on October 4, 2021, alleging that an influenza vaccine she received on October 4, 2018, caused her to suffer transverse myelitis and lower extremity impairment. She sought compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The court reviewed the case and found that the information in the record did not demonstrate entitlement to an award. Specifically, the record did not contain sufficient evidence to establish a "Table Injury" or provide persuasive evidence, such as a medical expert's opinion, that her alleged injury was vaccine-caused.

On February 26, 2025, Ms. LaGrange moved for voluntary dismissal of her case, stating that a meeting with an expert revealed she would be unable to prove entitlement to compensation.

Respondent did not oppose the motion. Consequently, the court dismissed the case for insufficient proof.

The Clerk was ordered to enter judgment accordingly.
