Katherine Antti v. HHS - HPV, headaches and visual changes, including a convergence and focusing disorder (2016)

Katherine Antti, initially represented by her mother Susan Antti, filed a petition on July 8, 2014, alleging that the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Varicella, and Hepatitis A vaccines received on November 19, 2011, and a second HPV vaccination on April 20, 2012, caused her to develop headaches and visual changes, including a convergence and focusing disorder. Katherine was substituted as the petitioner after reaching the age of majority.

Respondent denied that the vaccinations caused petitioner's alleged injuries. The parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to compensation for Katherine Antti.

The stipulation, which was adopted by Special Master Christian J. Moran, awarded a lump sum of $10,000.00 for all damages.

The decision was filed on March 4, 2016. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, clinical details of the condition, diagnostic tests performed, treatments received, or the specific mechanism of causation.

Petitioner counsel was Isaiah Richard Kalinowski of Maglio Christopher and Toale, PA, and respondent counsel was Debra A. Filteau Begley of the U.S.
