He also alleged that the residual effects of GBS lasted for more than six months.\n\nRespondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement. The public ruling states that respondent agreed Mr. Wilcher suffered GBS after a flu vaccine within the Vaccine Injury Table time period, that the medical evidence did not show the GBS was due to a factor unrelated to vaccination, and that the statutory severity requirement was satisfied. The ruling does not describe the first neurologic symptoms, hospitalization, diagnostic testing, treatment, or recovery course.\n\nOn December 5, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Mr. Wilcher entitled to compensation. Damages remain for later resolution.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
