A 17-year-old boy who claimed he developed a rare sleep disorder after receiving a swine flu jab as a young child has settled his High Court damages action for €750,000.
The teenager, who cannot be named by order of the court, was four years of age when he received the Pandemrix vaccine in March 2010.
His counsel Bruce Antoniotti SC told the High Court that the teen was probably one of the youngest to receive the vaccine.
