Peter Evan Kenseth v. HHS - Td/Tetanus, brachial neuritis (2026)

On January 27, 2022, Peter Kenseth filed a petition alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria vaccination caused brachial neuritis. The public dismissal decision does not state the exact vaccination date in the excerpted allegations.

Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report opposing compensation. The case turned on severity rather than a full causation analysis: petitioner had not shown that he suffered residual effects or complications of the alleged injury for more than six months.

On March 5, 2026, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran dismissed the claim.

No vaccine-injury compensation was awarded.
