They alleged that K.A.S. developed transverse myelitis after receiving combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis/hepatitis B/inactivated polio, rotavirus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines on July 18, 2017 and September 12, 2017. The public text identifies K.A.S. as a minor child but does not state his exact age.\n\nRespondent denied that any of the immunizations caused K.A.S.'s injury. The public stipulation decision does not describe the first symptom, diagnostic workup, hospitalization, neurologic findings, treatment, life-care needs, or expert opinions.\n\nSpecial Master Mindy Michaels Roth adopted the parties' stipulation on September 24, 2024. The award included $102,000.00 for first-year life care expenses and pain and suffering, $50,000.00 for past unreimbursable expenses, and $15,742.03 for a Wisconsin Department of Health Services lien, plus an annuity for future needs. The public fee decision later addressed attorneys' fees and costs separately.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Mindy Michaels Roth","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":"Kathleen Margaret Loucks","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Lommen Abdo, P.A.; Lommen Abdo Law Firm","petitioner_attorney_location":"Minneapolis, MN","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":"|kathleen-loucks|","firm_canonical_key":"lommen-abdo","package_title":"STORM et al v.
