The petition alleged that Timothy suffered a neurologic injury, including acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and a sixth cranial nerve palsy, after Tdap and meningococcal (Menactra) vaccinations on October 24, 2016 and influenza and human papillomavirus vaccinations on November 8, 2016. The public decision establishes that he was a minor when the case began, but it does not state his exact age at vaccination.\n\nRespondent denied that the vaccines caused ADEM, the cranial nerve palsy, any other injury, or Timothy's current condition. The public stipulation decision does not describe his first neurologic symptoms, diagnostic testing, hospitalization, treatment, residual deficits, or expert opinions.\n\nSpecial Master Nora Beth Dorsey adopted the parties' stipulation on January 14, 2025. The award included $1,500.00 for past unreimbursable expenses payable to Timothy and Jennifer Wallace and $83,500.00 for an annuity, for a total injury-compensation award of $85,000.00. A later October 7, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.","is_minor_inferred":1,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Ronald Craig Homer","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Conway, Homer, P.C.","petitioner_attorney_location":"Boston, MA","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|ronald-homer|","firm_canonical_key":"conway-homer","package_title":"WALLACE v.
