Jeffery Bohlmann v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2024)

Jeffery Bohlmann filed a petition for vaccine compensation on June 16, 2022, alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on or about October 26, 2020, caused him to develop chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). He further alleged that his symptoms persisted for more than six months.

Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Bohlmann's CIDP or any other injury.

Despite their differing positions on causation, the parties reached a joint stipulation to resolve the case. The stipulation stated that the flu vaccine is on the Vaccine Injury Table and that Mr.

Bohlmann received it within the United States. As a result of the stipulation, the Special Master adopted its terms as the Court's decision.

Mr. Bohlmann was awarded a lump sum of $200,000.00 as compensation for all damages available under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

The parties also agreed to proceedings for attorneys' fees and costs. This decision resolves all claims for damages, except for attorneys' fees and litigation costs.
