The petition alleged that Q.M. suffered from seizure activity, expressive language disorder, learning disabilities, and developmental delays as a result of receiving the Hepatitis B, Haemophilus Influenzae type B (HIB), Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTaP), IPV, Prevnar, and Rotavirus vaccines on August 21, 2007. It was further alleged that Q.M. experienced residual effects of these injuries for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccines caused Q.M.'s alleged injuries or his current condition. Despite these positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on November 4, 2016. Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the file and adopted the stipulation as the decision of the court, awarding compensation to the petitioner. The award included a lump sum of $786,949.21 for first-year life care expenses, partial lost future earnings, and pain and suffering, payable to Petitioner as guardian/conservator of Q.M.'s estate upon proof of appointment. An additional lump sum of $4,500.00 was awarded for past unreimbursable expenses, payable to Petitioner. A further lump sum of $24,983.28 was awarded as reimbursement of a lien for services rendered on behalf of Q.M., payable jointly to Petitioner and the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. The stipulation also provided for an amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract, paid to the life insurance company from which the annuity would be purchased. The total award amount was $826,432.49. The Special Master directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment accordingly, absent a motion for review.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Brian H.
