Alayna Helgason v. HHS - HPV, other (2025)

Alayna Helgason filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on August 9, 2024, alleging injuries from human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations received on July 22, 2019, August 16, 2021, and October 17, 2022. Because a decision had not been issued within the time specified by Vaccine Rule 10(b), Ms.

Helgason was notified that she could withdraw her petition or allow it to remain before the special master. On May 7, 2025, Ms.

Helgason elected to withdraw her petition. The Chief Special Master granted her request, concluding the proceedings on the merits but directing that no judgment on the merits be entered.

The case was therefore dismissed upon the petitioner's withdrawal.
