Paul Striso v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre syndrome (2025)

On August 8, 2024, Paul Striso filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on December 14, 2021 caused Guillain-Barre syndrome. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that Mr.

Striso met the Table criteria for GBS after influenza vaccination and the legal prerequisites for compensation. The public ruling states that he alleged residual effects lasting more than six months, but it does not describe the first neurologic symptoms, diagnostic testing, hospitalization, immune treatment, rehabilitation, or residual deficits.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Mr.

Striso entitled to compensation on July 16, 2025. Damages remained to be determined.
