Tanya Middlebrook v. HHS - HPV, other (2026)

Tanya Middlebrook filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 30, 2025, alleging injury after receiving a human papillomavirus vaccination on March 31, 2022. Because a decision had not been issued within the statutory timeframe, the petitioner was notified of her option to withdraw the petition or have it remain before the special master.

On December 29, 2025, Ms. Middlebrook elected to withdraw her petition.

The Chief Special Master granted her request, concluding the proceedings and ordering that no judgment on the merits be entered.
