Petitioner alleged that C.T.G. received a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine on February 29, 2012, and subsequently developed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that the MMR vaccine caused C.T.G.'s alleged injury or current condition. The parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case. The public decision does not provide C.T.G.'s date of birth or exact age, describe his hearing status before vaccination, specify when the hearing loss was first noticed, detail audiology testing, outline treatments, discuss school or speech effects, name treating physicians, or present expert opinions on the medical mechanism connecting the MMR vaccine to SNHL. On December 20, 2016, the parties filed their stipulation, and on December 21, 2016, Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth adopted the stipulation and awarded compensation. The total award was $156,817.72. This amount included $2,317.72 payable jointly to Brittany Greek and the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration to satisfy a State of Florida Medicaid lien. An additional $154,500.00 was payable to Brittany Greek as guardian or conservator of C.T.G.'s estate for all remaining Vaccine Act damages. Petitioner was represented by Erin Juzapavicus of Milam Howard. The stipulation stated that petitioner had identified all known collateral sources of payment and that the settlement funds, apart from attorneys' fees and costs, would be used solely for C.T.G.'s benefit. The stipulation also noted that the award might reflect a compromise of the parties' positions on liability and/or damages, and that the agreement would be voidable if the Special Master or Court did not issue a decision or judgment in conformity with the stipulation's terms. The stipulation explicitly stated it was not an admission by the United States or the Secretary of Health and Human Services that the MMR vaccine caused C.T.G.'s SNHL or any other injury.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Mindy Michaels Roth","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"CTG","petitioner_attorney_name":"Erin Juzapavicus","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Milam Howard et.al","petitioner_attorney_location":"Jacksonville, FL","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":"2026-05-05 23:45:53","attorney_canonical_keys":"|erin-juzapavicus|","firm_canonical_key":"milam-howard-et","package_title":"GREEK v.
