Mark Streech v. HHS - Tdap, vasovagal syncope (2025)

On November 15, 2024, Mark Streech filed a petition alleging that he experienced vasovagal syncope after receiving a Tdap vaccine on August 3, 2023. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that the claim satisfied the Vaccine Injury Table for vasovagal syncope because onset occurred within the required timeframe and no alternative cause was apparent.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found entitlement on July 25, 2025.

The public rulings do not provide the details of the fainting episode, immediate injury, treatment, or residual course. On December 17, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted respondent's damages proffer.

Mr. Streech was awarded $130,000.00 for pain and suffering and $3,987.70 for past unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $133,987.70.
