Petition at ¶¶ 38-39.

Respondent’s Rule 4(c) Report at 1. Specifically, Respondent states that [m]edical personnel at the Division of Injury Compensation Programs, Department of Health and Human Services, have reviewed the Petition and medical records filed in the case. It is [R]espondent’s position that petitioner has satisfied the criteria set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table and the Qualifications and Aids to Interpretation, which afford petitioner a presumption of causation if the onset of GBS occurs between three and forty-two days after a seasonal flu vaccination and there is not preponderant evidence of an alternative cause. Id. at 4-5 (citing 42 C.F.R. § 100.3 (a)(XIV)(D), (c)(15)). In view of Respondent’s position and the evidence of record, I find that Petitioner is entitled to compensation.
