AI-assisted case summary:
Tiffany Crider filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered from Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) following an influenza vaccination on October 24, 2023. She further alleged that she has suffered residual effects for more than six months. Respondent denied that Petitioner sustained a Table GBS injury, denied that any vaccine caused or significantly aggravated her alleged injury, and denied that her current condition is a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. Despite these denials, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to a settlement. The court adopted the stipulation as its decision, awarding Tiffany Crider a lump sum of $97,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages. This amount represents a compromise of the parties' positions on liability and damages.

No. 24-0744V
TIFFANY CRIDER, Chief Special Master Corcoran
Petitioner, Filed: February 2, 2026
v.
SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES,
Respondent.
William E. Cochran, Jr., Black McLaren, et al., P.C., Memphis, TN, for Petitioner.
Alec Saxe, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC, for Respondent.
DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1
On May 13, 2024, Tiffany Crider filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. §300aa-10, et seq.2 (the
“Vaccine Act”). Petitioner alleges that she suffered from Guillain-Barre Syndrome (“GBS”)
following an influenza vaccination she received on October 24, 2023. Petition at 1;
Stipulation, filed at February 2, 2026, ¶¶ 2, 4. Petitioner further alleges that she has
suffered the residual effects of her vaccine-related injury for more than six months.
Petition at ¶ 12; Stipulation at ¶ 4. “Respondent denies that Petitioner sustained a Table
GBS injury; denies that any vaccine caused in fact or significantly aggravated Petitioner’s
alleged injury, to include GBS and/or CIDP; and denies that Petitioner’s current condition
is a sequela of a vaccine-related injury.” Stipulation at ¶ 6.
Nevertheless, on February 2, 2026, the parties filed the attached joint stipulation,
stating that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. I find the stipulation
reasonable and adopt it as my decision awarding damages, on the terms set forth therein.
1 Because this Decision contains a reasoned explanation for the action taken in this case, it must be made
publicly accessible and will be posted on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, and/or
at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/uscourts/national/cofc, in accordance with the E-Government
Act of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2018) (Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic Government
Services). This means the Decision will be available to anyone with access to the internet. In
accordance with Vaccine Rule 18(b), Petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other
information, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, I
agree that the identified material fits within this definition, I will redact such material from public access.
2 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-660, 100 Stat. 3755. Hereinafter, for ease
of citation, all section references to the Vaccine Act will be to the pertinent subparagraph of 42 U.S.C. §
300aa (2018).

Case 1:24-vv-00744-UNJ Document 40 Filed 03/16/26 Page 2 of 7
Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Stipulation, I award the following
compensation:
A lump sum of $97,000.00, to be paid through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s
counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Petitioner. Stipulation
at ¶ 8. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages that would
be available under Section 15(a). Id.
I approve the requested amount for Petitioner’s compensation. In the absence of
a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of Court is directed to
enter judgment in accordance with this decision.3
IT IS SO ORDERED.

renouncing the right to seek review.
