Lance Trollop v. HHS - Influenza, Bell's palsy (2025)

On March 11, 2022, Lance Trollop filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on November 5, 2019 caused Bell's palsy. The public stipulation identifies him as an adult petitioner but does not state his exact age.

Respondent denied that the influenza vaccine caused Mr. Trollop's Bell's palsy or any sequelae.

The public stipulation does not provide a detailed clinical timeline describing first facial weakness, treatment, testing, recovery, or residual symptoms. The parties resolved the case by stipulation.

On October 29, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and awarded Mr.

Trollop a lump sum of $145,000.00 for all damages available under the Vaccine Act.
