The public decision does not specify the dye, the alleged injuries, the petitioner's age, or the specific vaccine(s) involved. The Special Master found that the substance administered was not a vaccine covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and that the petition failed to allege receipt of a vaccine listed in the Vaccine Injury Table or that a vaccine caused the alleged injuries.

The public decision does not mention any experts or provide a detailed mechanism of injury.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2016-03-24","case_summary":"On March 24, 2016, Larry Gordon filed a petition for vaccine compensation alleging that on October 28, 2015, he suffered various injuries due to a dye administered during a magnetic resonance imaging test. The Special Master, George L. Hastings, Jr., reviewed the petition. To be eligible for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a petitioner must demonstrate they received a vaccine listed in the Vaccine Injury Table and sustained an injury caused by a vaccine covered by the program. The public decision does not describe the specific injuries alleged, the petitioner's counsel, the respondent's counsel, or any expert testimony. Mr. Gordon did not state a claim that he received a vaccination set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table, nor did he allege that a vaccine caused his injuries. The Special Master determined that the dye administered was not a vaccine covered by the Program. Because the petition failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, the petition was dismissed. No award was made. The decision was issued on April 4, 2016.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"George L.
