Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On June 30, 2025, Randi Szydlowski filed a Vaccine Act petition on behalf of her minor child, H.S. The petition alleged that H.S. suffered injuries after receiving human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations on December 22, 2020, and June 22, 2022.
The public record for this package is limited to an order concluding proceedings. It does not describe H.S.'s medical history, the specific symptoms alleged, treatment, expert evidence, or a causation ruling.

Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran granted that request on March 30, 2026, and concluded proceedings on the merits.
The order directed that no judgment on the merits be entered. No compensation award was made.
