Breia Weiland v. HHS - DTaP, movement disorder and alleged seizures (2025)

On April 30, 2024, Breia Weiland filed a petition on behalf of minor child B.W., alleging injury after DTaP, hepatitis B, and Hib vaccinations administered on September 7, 2023. The public dismissal decision describes the claimed condition as seizures or an ill-defined movement disorder but does not provide a detailed medical chronology.

Respondent argued that the record did not establish that B.W. had a seizure disorder, did not show six-month residual effects, and did not satisfy any Althen causation requirement. After changes in counsel and time to evaluate the record, petitioner moved to dismiss the case, stating that the available evidence and science would not support entitlement.

On September 15, 2025, Special Master Thomas L. Moran dismissed the petition with prejudice for insufficient proof.

No compensation was awarded. B.W. was represented by Nathan Marchese at dismissal.
