Tammy Walden v. HHS - HPV, other (2022)

Tammy Walden filed a petition on behalf of her minor child, J.F., alleging injury after receiving a human papillomavirus vaccination on November 20, 2018. The petition was filed on February 24, 2022.

Because a decision had not been issued within the statutory timeframe, the petitioner was notified of the option to withdraw the petition or have it remain before the special master. On February 23, 2022, Tammy Walden elected to withdraw the petition.

The court granted the withdrawal request and ordered that proceedings on the merits were concluded, but no judgment on the merits should be entered.
