Robert Rose v. HHS - Influenza, transverse myelitis (2024)

Robert Rose filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Program, alleging that he suffered from transverse myelitis as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on November 24, 2019. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused the alleged injury.

Despite maintaining their respective positions, the parties entered into a stipulation to settle the case. The stipulation stated that the flu vaccine is a vaccine contained in the Vaccine Injury Table.

The parties agreed that a decision should be entered awarding compensation to Mr. Rose.

As part of the stipulation, the Secretary agreed to issue a lump sum payment of $45,000.00 to Mr. Rose, representing compensation for all damages available under the program.

This amount covers all damages, and the parties agreed that this stipulation represents a full and complete negotiated settlement of liability and damages. The decision adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded the compensation.
