Melissa Sloan v. HHS - HPV, primary ovarian insufficiency/infertility and Sjorgens disease (2020)

Melissa Sloan filed a petition alleging that she developed primary ovarian insufficiency/infertility and Sjorgens disease as a result of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines she received between September 2007 and October 2008. She filed her petition on April 8, 2019.

The court provided Ms. Sloan with guidance on the requirements for bringing a claim and set deadlines for her to file medical records and a statement of completion.

Despite multiple orders and extensions, Ms. Sloan repeatedly failed to comply with the court's deadlines and failed to submit the required documentation.

The court issued two show cause orders warning her that failure to prosecute her claim would result in dismissal. As Ms.

Sloan failed to respond to the second show cause order and had not filed any medical records or a statement of completion, the case was dismissed for failure to prosecute on April 21, 2020. No compensation was awarded.
