Jesse Wayson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre syndrome (2025)

On January 11, 2024, Jesse Wayson filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on January 10, 2023, caused Guillain-Barre syndrome. He later filed an amended petition.

Respondent conceded that Mr. Wayson met the requirements for a Table Guillain-Barre syndrome claim following influenza vaccination and that he satisfied the legal prerequisites for compensation.

The public entitlement decision does not describe the onset interval, hospitalization, neurologic testing, treatment, or residual symptoms in detail. On September 15, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found Mr.

Wayson entitled to compensation. Damages remained pending.

Mr. Wayson was represented by Ronald Homer.
