Donna Hayes filed a petition on behalf of her minor child, K.H., alleging injury following a human papillomavirus vaccination on December 11, 2019. The petition was filed on October 18, 2022.

As no decision had been issued within the time specified by Vaccine Rule 10(b), the petitioner was notified that she could withdraw the petition or have it remain before the special master. On June 19, 2023, Donna Hayes elected to withdraw the petition.

The Chief Special Master granted the withdrawal request, concluding the proceedings on the merits. No judgment was entered.
