W.J. v. HHS - Rotavirus, intussusception (2025)

On December 11, 2023, Cory and Olga Jubinville filed a petition on behalf of their minor child, W.J., alleging that a rotavirus vaccine administered on June 2, 2023 caused intussusception. Respondent conceded entitlement, agreeing that the record supported a Table intussusception claim, that no likely alternative cause had been shown, and that the severity requirement was met because W.J. was hospitalized and underwent surgical intervention.

The public documents do not describe the exact onset of symptoms, imaging or diagnostic workup, operation, hospitalization course, or recovery. Chief Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran found entitlement on September 5, 2024. On August 19, 2025, he awarded $35,000.00 for W.J.'s pain and suffering, payable for W.J.'s benefit through petitioners as guardians or conservators, and $3,466.78 in past unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $38,466.78.
