G.G. v. HHS - HPV, other (2021)

Blas Gutierrez, father and natural guardian of G.G., an infant, filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 22, 2021. The petition alleged that G.G. suffered an adverse reaction to a human papillomavirus vaccination and a meningococcal vaccination received on December 23, 2017.

On January 21, 2021, Petitioner filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, stating that this case was a duplicate of an earlier filed case (no. 20-1273V). The Chief Special Master dismissed the case without prejudice, citing Vaccine Rule 21(a) regarding voluntary dismissal before the respondent's report is filed.

No specific injury or medical condition was detailed in this dismissal order, and no compensation was awarded.
