DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1
On February 22, 2022, Jacki Della Rosa Carron filed a petition seeking compensation under
the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the “Vaccine Program”).2 Petitioner alleges
that she suffered acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“AIDP”) and chronic
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) as a result of her September 19, 2020,
receipt of the influenza (“flu”) vaccine. Moreover, Petitioner alleges that she experienced residual
effects of this injury for more than six months.
Respondent denies that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner to suffer AIDP, CIDP, or any
other injury or condition. Respondent also denies that Petitioner’s current condition is a sequela of
a vaccine-related injury. Nonetheless both parties, while maintaining their above-stated positions,
1 Under Vaccine Rule 18(b), each party has fourteen (14) days within which to request redaction “of any information
furnished by that party: (1) that is a trade secret or commercial or financial in substance and is privileged or
confidential; or (2) that includes medical files or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of privacy.” Vaccine Rule 18(b). Otherwise, the whole Decision will be available to the public
in its present form. Id.
2 The Vaccine Program comprises Part 2 of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-660,
100 Stat. 3758, codified as amended at 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-10 through 34 (2012) (“Vaccine Act” or “the Act”).
Individual section references hereafter will be to § 300aa of the Act (but will omit that statutory prefix).

agreed in a stipulation (filed on October 13, 2023) that the issues before them could be settled, and
that a decision should be entered awarding Petitioner compensation.
I have reviewed the file, and based upon that review, I conclude that the parties’ stipulation
(as attached hereto) is reasonable. I therefore adopt it as my decision in awarding damages on the
terms set forth therein.
The stipulation awards:
• A lump sum of $75,000.00 in the form of a check payable to Petitioner.
Stipulation ¶ 8. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available
under Section 15(a) of the Act.
I approve a Vaccine Program award in the requested amount set forth above to be made to
Petitioner. In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of
the Court is directed to enter judgment herewith.3
IT IS SO ORDERED.
