M.J.S. v. HHS - other (2020)

Andrew Scarlett and Tamara Dawes, as parents and co-personal representatives of the estate of M.J.S., filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on October 7, 2019. The petition was filed by the parents on behalf of their child, M.J.S., indicating M.J.S. was a minor.

No specific vaccine or injury was detailed in this order. On October 14, 2020, the petitioners filed a motion to dismiss their petition.

Respondent did not file a Rule 4(c) report. The Special Master dismissed the case without prejudice on October 15, 2020, pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a), and judgment was not to enter.

The case was dismissed procedurally, not on the merits of any alleged vaccine injury.
