They alleged that A.M. suffered intussusception as a result of receiving a rotavirus vaccine on November 1, 2019. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a report on September 21, 2021, conceding that A.M. was entitled to compensation. The respondent determined that A.M.'s intussusception met the criteria set forth on the Vaccine Injury Table, establishing a presumption of causation, and that the petitioners had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. On September 22, 2021, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a Ruling of Entitlement, finding A.M. entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on April 4, 2022, the parties submitted a proffer on the award of damages. The respondent proffered an award of $35,965.00, which the petitioners agreed to. This amount comprised $35,000.00 for pain and suffering, payable to A.M.'s estate, and $965.00 for past unreimbursable expenses, payable to Anna and Matthew Miller. Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a Decision Awarding Damages on May 20, 2022, awarding the proffered amounts. The award for pain and suffering was contingent upon the petitioners providing documentation of their appointment as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of A.M.'s estate. Petitioner counsel was Danielle Strait of Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA. Respondent counsel included Nancy Tinch and Madelyn Weeks of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Brian H.
