Anna Krupp v. HHS - HPV, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (2024)

Anna Krupp filed a claim alleging that she suffered from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) as a result of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine she received on September 30, 2016. She filed her petition on January 23, 2023.

After filing her medical records over an extended period, the respondent filed a report recommending against compensation. Subsequently, Anna Krupp filed a Motion for a Decision Dismissing her Petition.

She stated that a review of the case law and the facts demonstrated she would be unable to meet the court's requirements for compensation and that proceeding further would be unreasonable. While she maintained her belief that the HPV vaccine caused her injuries and intended to pursue a civil action against the manufacturer, she understood that dismissal would result in a judgment against her and terminate her rights in the Vaccine Program.

The Special Master granted her motion, dismissing the petition for failure to establish a prima facie case of entitlement to compensation, as her medical records did not support her allegations by a preponderance of the evidence, and she did not file an expert medical opinion. The case was dismissed, and judgment was entered accordingly.
