Robert Haas v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain Barré syndrome (2026)

Robert Haas filed a petition on June 2, 2026, alleging that he suffered from Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on or about September 3, 2021. He also alleged residual effects lasting more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused GBS or any other injury. Despite maintaining their positions, both parties agreed to settle the case.

A stipulation was filed on June 1, 2026, and the court adopted it as its decision. The stipulation awarded Robert Haas a lump sum of $180,000.00 as compensation for all damages.
