Junious Nielsen v. HHS - Influenza, migraines, shoulder injury, rashes, fatigue, and blood in his stool (2025)

Junious Nielsen, an adult, filed a pro se petition alleging he suffered migraines, shoulder injury, rashes, fatigue, and blood in his stool as a result of HPV vaccinations and influenza vaccinations administered in 2022 and 2023. The case was initially filed on May 13, 2024.

After an amended petition specified influenza vaccines, the respondent filed a report recommending dismissal. The court issued an Order to Show Cause on December 10, 2024, directing the petitioner to submit evidence supporting his claim by January 24, 2025.

Mr. Nielsen failed to comply with this order.

The court reviewed the medical records provided, which included complaints of fatigue in 2020 and headaches/migraines in July 2021, predating the alleged vaccinations. The records did not document any diagnosis or complaints of shoulder injury, rashes, or blood in his stool, nor did they show residual effects of migraines or fatigue lasting more than six months post-vaccination or resulting in hospitalization.

Consequently, the court found insufficient evidence to establish a cognizable injury or meet the severity requirements of the Vaccine Act. The case was dismissed for insufficient proof and failure to prosecute due to the lack of response to the Order to Show Cause.
