Candy Flores Arzate v. HHS - MMR, bilateral leg weakness, post-immunization paresthesia, and Guillain-Barre syndrome (2025)

On August 2, 2022, Candy Flores Arzate filed a petition alleging that Tdap and MMR vaccinations administered on January 18, 2021 caused bilateral leg weakness, post-immunization paresthesia, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Respondent denied that either vaccination caused Ms.

Arzate's alleged neurologic injury, caused any other injury, or caused a vaccine-related current condition. The public stipulation does not describe the first neurologic symptoms, diagnostic testing, hospitalization, IVIG or other treatment, rehabilitation, or residual limitations.

The parties resolved the case by stipulation. On December 30, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded Ms. Arzate $31,000.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.
