Don Lewis v. HHS - other (2017)

Don Lewis filed a petition for vaccine compensation on October 25, 2016, alleging injury from a vaccine listed in the Vaccine Injury Table. The record did not contain sufficient evidence to establish entitlement to an award.

Specifically, there was no evidence of a 'Table Injury,' nor was there a medical expert's opinion or other persuasive evidence indicating that Mr. Lewis's injury was vaccine-caused.

On July 19, 2017, Mr. Lewis moved for a decision dismissing his petition, acknowledging his inability to prove entitlement.

The court dismissed the case for insufficient proof of causation. The specific vaccine, alleged injury, and date of vaccination were not detailed in this decision.

Special Master George L. Hastings issued the decision.

The public decision does not describe the petitioner's counsel, respondent's counsel, the specific vaccine, the date of vaccination, the alleged injury, the onset of symptoms, medical records, diagnostic tests, treatments, or any named medical experts.
