They alleged that M.J.P. experienced syncope and fell, resulting in dental injuries, after receiving Hepatitis A and HPV vaccinations on February 18, 2015. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on April 1, 2016, conceding entitlement. The respondent agreed that M.J.P.'s dental injury was consistent with vaccine-related syncope, that the injury was caused by the vaccinations, that the case was timely filed, that M.J.P. received a vaccine listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, that the vaccine was administered in the United States, and that the condition persisted for more than six months. Based on the respondent's concession, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a ruling on entitlement on April 5, 2016, finding M.J.P. entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on July 26, 2016, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation, proposing an award of $100,000.00, which the petitioners agreed to. On October 5, 2016, Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a decision awarding M.J.P. a lump sum payment of $100,000.00, payable to Dwan Petti and Anthony Petti as guardians/conservators of M.J.P.'s estate. This amount represented compensation for all damages available under the Vaccine Act. Clifford Shoemaker represented the petitioners, and Michael Milmoe represented the respondent. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests performed, or treatments received.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Clifford Shoemaker","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Shoemaker, Gentry & Knickelbein","petitioner_attorney_location":"Vienna, VA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|clifford-shoemaker|","firm_canonical_key":"shoemaker-gentry-and-knickelbein","package_title":"PETTI et al v.
