Benita Turner v. HHS - HPV, other (2021)

Benita Turner filed a petition on behalf of her minor child, I.T., alleging injury after receiving a human papillomavirus vaccination on October 26, 2017. The petition was filed on July 28, 2021.

Because no decision had been issued within the time specified by Vaccine Rule 10(b), the petitioner was notified of her option to withdraw the petition or have it remain before the special master. On July 1, 2021, Petitioner elected to withdraw the petition.

The court granted the withdrawal request, concluding proceedings on the merits. No judgment on the merits was entered.
