related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”), as the result of an influenza (“flu”) vaccination
received on October 28, 2022. Petition at 1. Petitioner further alleges that she suffered
the residual effects of her injury for more than six months, that the vaccine was
administered within the United States, and that there has been no prior award or
settlement of a civil action on her behalf as a result of her injury. Petition at 1-2. The case

with Vaccine Rule 18(b), Petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other information,
the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review, I agree that
