Anthony Glenn v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) (2023)

Joyce Glenn, as personal representative of the estate of Anthony Glenn, filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that Anthony Glenn suffered Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following an influenza vaccine administered on September 13, 2019, and that his injury met the criteria for compensation under the Vaccine Injury Table.

The respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that the claim met the Table criteria for GBS following a flu vaccine. A ruling on entitlement was issued on December 13, 2022, finding Anthony Glenn entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on October 10, 2023, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, which the petitioner agreed to. Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded the estate a lump sum payment of $90,000.00 for past pain and suffering, representing all elements of compensation available under the Act.
