Maria V. Paltrinieri Baclini v. HHS - Tdap, Guillain-Barre syndrome (2025)

On August 15, 2023, Maria V. Paltrinieri Baclini filed a petition alleging that influenza and Tdap vaccines administered on September 22, 2021 caused Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Ms. Paltrinieri Baclini alleged that her GBS began within the Table timeframe after the flu immunization and that she suffered residual effects for more than six months.

Respondent denied that she sustained a Table GBS injury, denied that the flu vaccine caused her GBS or any other injury, and denied vaccine-related sequelae. The public stipulation does not describe the first neurologic symptoms, diagnostic tests, hospitalization, IVIG or plasma treatment, rehabilitation, or residual deficits.

The parties resolved the case by stipulation filed November 4, 2025. On November 10, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran adopted the stipulation and awarded $110,000.00 to Ms. Paltrinieri Baclini and $14,138.34 to satisfy a Florida Medicaid lien, for a total of $124,138.34.
