The petition was filed by Kevin A. Mack. The respondent was the Secretary of Health and Human Services, represented by Lisa A. Watts. Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth presided over the case. To be eligible for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a petitioner must prove either a \"Table Injury\" listed in the Vaccine Injury Table or demonstrate that the vaccine actually caused their injury. Additionally, the petitioner must show residual effects lasting more than six months, death resulting from the vaccine, or an injury requiring inpatient hospitalization with surgical intervention. The record in this case did not contain evidence of a Table Injury. Furthermore, Mr. Hall was unable to provide records supporting an injury persisting for more than six months after the vaccine administration. Consequently, Special Master Roth found that Mr. Hall failed to demonstrate entitlement to compensation under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-11(c)(1)(D)(i). The case was dismissed on September 25, 2017, with the Clerk directed to enter judgment accordingly. The public decision was issued on September 25, 2017.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Mindy Michaels Roth","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Kevin A.
