Amy Moses v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2025)

Amy Moses filed a petition on October 21, 2021, on behalf of E.M., a minor. The petition alleged that E.M. developed chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 2, 2018, and that the effects of the condition lasted for more than six months.

The public stipulation materials do not disclose E.M.'s exact age or provide a detailed treatment timeline. They identify the vaccine, the alleged CIDP, the minor status of the injured person, respondent's position, and the agreed compensation structure.

Respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused E.M.'s alleged injuries, denied that E.M. suffered any other vaccine-related injury, and denied that any current condition was a sequela of vaccination. The parties nevertheless resolved the case by stipulation, and Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey adopted the stipulation on October 15, 2025.

The compensation was structured as $134,000.00 to purchase an annuity contract for E.M.'s benefit, representing all damages available under section 15(a). A later fee decision concerned attorney fees and costs only.

Petitioner was represented by Scott William Rooney of Nemes, Rooney P.C. in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
