Georgia Jackson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP) (2024)

Georgia Jackson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that the influenza vaccine she received on October 6, 2021, caused her to suffer from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP). She further alleged that her injury lasted for more than six months.

The parties, Georgia Jackson and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation to Ms. Jackson.

Although the Respondent denied that Ms. Jackson sustained GBS or CIDP, or that the flu vaccine caused her alleged injuries, they agreed to the joint stipulation.

The stipulation stated that Ms. Jackson would receive a lump sum of $20,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

The Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court, approving the requested amount for compensation. Judgment was to be entered in accordance with the terms of the parties’ stipulation.
