Elizabeth Landers v. HHS - HPV, other (2022)

Elizabeth Landers filed a petition on behalf of her minor child, I.L., alleging injury after receiving a human papillomavirus vaccination on September 12, 2019. The petition was filed on February 22, 2022.

Because a decision had not been issued within the statutory timeframe, the petitioner was given the option to withdraw the petition or have it remain before the special master. On February 20, 2022, the petitioner elected to withdraw the petition.

The court granted the withdrawal request and concluded proceedings on the merits, but no judgment on the merits was entered.
