On May 24, 2016, Catherine Cintron, as the parent and legal representative of her minor son E.C., filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Petitioner alleged that E.C. developed autoimmune hemolytic anemia after receiving influenzae b (Hib), diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP), inactivated polio virus (IPV), pneumococcal (Prevnar), and rotavirus vaccinations on May 31, 2013.

The decision was filed on June 13, 2017. Petitioner's counsel was Elizabeth Muldowney of Rawls McNelis and Mitchell, P.C.
