Ellie Hopkins v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre syndrome (2025)

On June 26, 2024, Ellie Hopkins filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on September 29, 2021 caused Guillain-Barre syndrome. The public entitlement ruling is short and does not describe the detailed onset, hospitalization, diagnostic testing, or treatment history.

Respondent conceded entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Ms.

Hopkins entitled to compensation on August 19, 2025. The decision resolved entitlement only, leaving damages for later proceedings.

Ms. Hopkins was represented by Alison Haskins.
