A.D. v. HHS - Rotavirus, intussusception (2026)

Anna Joseph and Raheem Davis, on behalf of their minor child A.D., filed a petition for compensation on March 30, 2026, alleging that A.D. suffered intussusception as a Table injury caused by a rotavirus vaccine received on August 30, 2024. The petition stated that A.D. required inpatient hospitalization and surgical intervention.

The respondent conceded that A.D. is entitled to compensation, as the intussusception manifested within the Table's timeframe of one to twenty-one days after vaccination, and there was no evidence of an unrelated cause. The respondent also noted the injury resulted in hospitalization and surgery, satisfying all legal prerequisites for compensation.

Based on the respondent's concession and the record, the Chief Special Master found A.D. entitled to compensation, with damages to be determined.
