Leslie Brinkman Greer v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) (2025)

On March 3, 2025, Leslie Brinkman Greer filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 30, 2023 caused Guillain-Barre syndrome. The public ruling identifies her as an adult petitioner but does not state her exact age.

Respondent conceded entitlement in a Rule 4(c) report, agreeing that the record established Table GBS because onset occurred within the 3-to-42-day period after vaccination and no apparent alternative cause was identified. The public ruling does not describe her first neurologic symptoms, hospitalization, testing, treatment, or residual deficits.

On October 29, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran found Ms. Greer entitled to compensation.

Damages remained to be determined.
