The Rennes administrative court awarded the sum of 1.39 million euros to the parents of a young man who developed narcolepsy-cataplexy after an injection of the influenza A vaccine. The boy, then aged 10 years old, had been vaccinated on December 9, 2009 as part of the H1N1 vaccination campaign.

The young man suffers from depression and obesity

After the diagnosis of the disease on March 1, 2012, his parents had seized the National Office for Compensation for Medical Accidents, Iatrogenic Affections and Nosocomial Infections (ONIAM).

The administrative court compensated them with regard in particular to "metabolic and cardiovascular consequences in connection with overweight resulting from the side effects of drug treatment as well as a major depressive syndrome, resistant to treatment".

The court also noted "a strong resentment" of the young man "towards the health system as well as his parents for having had him vaccinated" as well as "the permanent aesthetic damage, given the morbid obesity, cataplexy attacks and falling asleep at any time ”.
