Morgan Adele Garrison v. HHS - Meningococcal, vision change, nausea, numbness in her legs and feet, cognitive changes, allergies, headaches, and a weakened immune system (2019)

Morgan Adele Garrison filed a petition on November 6, 2019, alleging that a meningococcal B vaccine administered on August 9, 2016, caused her to suffer vision change, nausea, numbness in her legs and feet, cognitive changes, allergies, headaches, and a weakened immune system. The petition was filed by Russell W.

Lewis, IV, of Johnson Law Group. The respondent was represented by Colleen C.

Hartley of the United States Department of Justice. The public decision does not describe the petitioner's age at vaccination or provide specific medical records detailing the onset or progression of her alleged symptoms.

Petitioner did not allege a "Table Injury" as defined by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Regarding an "off-Table" injury, the petitioner acknowledged that she had not provided sufficient medical records or expert opinions to support a finding of entitlement.

Consequently, on November 5, 2019, the petitioner filed a motion to dismiss her own petition, stating that she had not met her burden of proof after considering her personal circumstances and the resources of the court, respondent, and the Vaccine Program. The respondent did not oppose the motion.

Special Master Thomas L. Gowen granted the petitioner's motion, dismissing the case for insufficient proof and entering judgment against the petitioner.

The decision does not specify whether the petitioner elected to reject the judgment and file a civil action. The public decision does not detail any award amount or annuity terms.
