Cherylun Andrews v. HHS - Tdap, serum sickness, hives, rash and allergic skin reaction (2021)

Cherylun Andrews filed a petition on February 19, 2019, alleging that she suffered serum sickness, hives, rash, and an allergic skin reaction due to a Tdap vaccine received on February 1, 2017. The court ordered her to submit medical records and a statement of completion by April 5, 2019.

Over the next year and a half, Ms. Andrews repeatedly requested extensions of time to file these documents, submitting some medical records but failing to provide a complete affidavit and expert report.

Despite multiple court orders and deadlines, including a final order to show cause by January 21, 2021, Ms. Andrews failed to submit the required affidavit or respond to the court's order.

Her counsel reported that Ms. Andrews had become unresponsive and uncooperative in prosecuting her claim.

Due to her continued failure to comply with court orders and prosecute her case, the court dismissed the petition for failure to prosecute on April 2, 2021.
