Wynn filed a petition alleging injury from unspecified vaccinations administered in 2007 and prior years, with vaccinations occurring between 1991 and 2008.

The petitioner provided some medical records indicating vaccinations but no evidence of harm. A prior petition filed by his mother, Chandra Price, in 2008 (No. 08-93V) alleging vaccine injuries to Christopher Wynn was previously dismissed by Special Master Gary Golkiewicz on June 1, 2012, for failure to demonstrate vaccine-caused injuries. The Special Master in the current case found no information to indicate the present petition was timely filed and no evidence of harm in either case. No specific theory of causation or medical experts were presented in the public decision. The decision was issued on September 29, 2017.

Wynn filed a petition alleging injury from unspecified vaccinations administered in 2007 and prior years. The Special Master ordered the petitioner to provide the dates and types of vaccinations and evidence of harm. On May 25, the petitioner provided a letter describing vaccinations received between 1991 and 2008, along with some medical records confirming some of these vaccinations, but no evidence of harm. On June 21, the Special Master issued an order noting that the petition appeared to be untimely filed and gave the petitioner 30 days to respond to this issue. Since that order, the petitioner filed a letter on July 17, 2017, from his mother, Chandra Price. In this letter, Ms. Price mentioned a prior Vaccine Act petition she had filed in 2008 on behalf of Christopher Wynn, alleging vaccine injuries. That prior petition, No. 08-93V, was dismissed by Special Master Gary Golkiewicz on June 1, 2012, for failure to demonstrate vaccine-caused injuries. The Special Master reviewed the record of the prior case and found it was appropriately dismissed. The Special Master also found that Ms. Price's letter filed in the current case contained no information indicating that the present petition was filed in a timely fashion. The Special Master expressed sympathy for the difficulties faced by the petitioner and his mother but concluded that the petition, alleging injury from vaccinations administered between 1991 and 2008, was untimely filed. The Special Master also noted that the records in neither case contained evidence that Mr. Wynn was harmed by vaccinations. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed as untimely filed. The Special Master also noted no evidence justifying equitable tolling of the statute of limitations.","is_minor_inferred":null,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"George L.
