Ava Watson v. HHS - HPV, other (2025)

Ava Watson filed a petition for compensation on August 21, 2024, alleging injuries from human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations received on April 23, 2019, and August 23, 2021. The decision does not specify the alleged injuries or medical conditions.

Because no decision on the merits had been issued within the time specified by Vaccine Rule 10(b), Ava Watson was notified of her option to withdraw the petition. On May 16, 2025, Ava Watson elected to withdraw her petition.

The Chief Special Master granted her request, concluding the proceedings on the merits but specifying that no judgment on the merits should be entered. The case was dismissed following the petitioner's withdrawal.
