She alleged these vaccines caused Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). The case was dismissed by Special Master Lisa Hamilton-Fieldman on June 2, 2016, due to the statute of limitations. The petition was filed on February 11, 2015. The Special Master determined that the first symptom or manifestation of POI occurred by December 5, 2009, when Petitioner turned 15 years old without having had a menstrual cycle, which is considered an abnormal symptom according to the ACOG Opinion. This date was more than 36 months prior to the filing date, rendering the claim time-barred. The public decision does not detail the specific mechanism of causation alleged by the petitioner or name any experts regarding causation, focusing solely on the timeliness of the claim. No award was granted.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2015-02-11","case_summary":"Katelyn Garner, born December 5, 1994, filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on February 11, 2015, alleging that the Gardasil vaccine, administered on August 9, 2007, August 11, 2008, and April 13, 2009, caused her to develop primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). The respondent contended that the petition was filed outside the 36-month statute of limitations. Petitioner's medical records indicated that she had not menstruated by age 14, with her pediatrician noting this on October 2, 2009. The public decision does not describe the specific symptoms or manifestations of POI that occurred prior to this date, nor does it detail the petitioner's counsel, respondent's counsel, or the Special Master's specific reasoning beyond the application of the statute of limitations. The Special Master, Lisa Hamilton-Fieldman, determined that the first symptom or manifestation of POI occurred by December 5, 2009, when Petitioner turned 15 years old without having had a menstrual cycle. This date was more than two years before the petition was filed on February 11, 2015. Therefore, the petition was dismissed as time-barred. The decision does not mention any expert witnesses by name or detail specific clinical findings beyond the absence of menstruation and Tanner stages. No award amount or annuity terms were applicable as the case was dismissed.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Lisa D.
