The Special Master reviewed the record and found insufficient evidence to support her claim for an award under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. To be eligible for compensation, Ms. Mann was required to prove either that she suffered a \"Table Injury\" listed in the Vaccine Injury Table corresponding to her vaccination, or that her injuries were actually caused by the vaccine. The record did not contain evidence of a Table Injury. Furthermore, the record lacked persuasive evidence indicating that Ms. Mann's alleged injuries were vaccine-caused or vaccine-related. The petition was not supported by sufficient medical records, nor did it include a competent physician's opinion to establish entitlement. Consequently, Ms. Mann failed to demonstrate either a Table Injury or that her injuries were actually caused by a vaccination. On April 1, 2021, Ms. Mann filed a Motion for Dismissal Decision, requesting that her case be dismissed. The case was dismissed for insufficient proof. Howard Gold, Esq., represented the petitioner, and Claudia Gangi, Esq., represented the respondent. The decision was issued by Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth on April 27, 2021.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Mindy Michaels Roth","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Howard Gold","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Gold Law Firm, LLC","petitioner_attorney_location":"Wellesley Hills, MA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|howard-gold|","firm_canonical_key":"gold-law-firm","package_title":"MANN v.
