3. The date the application was
approved: April 15, 2015. FDA has
verified the applicant’s claim that NDA
206143 was approved on April 15, 2015.
This determination of the regulatory
review period establishes the maximum

HRSA is publishing this
notice of petitions received under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program (the program), as required by
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as
amended. While the Secretary of HHS
(the Secretary) is named as the
respondent in all proceedings brought
by the filing of petitions for
compensation under the Program, the
United States Court of Federal Claims is
charged by statute with responsibility
for considering and acting upon the
petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the program in
general, contact Lisa L. Reyes, Acting
Clerk, United States Court of Federal
Claims, 717 Madison Place NW,
Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357–6400.
For information on HRSA’s role in the
program, contact the Director, National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,
5600 Fishers Lane, Room 08N146B,
Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–6593,
or visit our website at: https://
www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/
index.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
program provides a system of no-fault
compensation for certain individuals
who have been injured by specified
childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title
XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–
10 et seq., provides that those seeking
compensation are to file a petition with
the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to
serve a copy of the petition on the
Secretary of HHS, who is named as the
respondent in each proceeding. The
Secretary has delegated this
responsibility under the program to
HRSA. The Court is directed by statute
to appoint special masters who take
evidence, conduct hearings as
appropriate, and make initial decisions
as to eligibility for, and amount of,
compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect
to injuries, disabilities, illnesses,
conditions, and deaths resulting from
vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury
Table (the table) set forth at 42 CFR
100.3. This table lists for each covered
childhood vaccine the conditions that
may lead to compensation and, for each
condition, the time period for
occurrence of the first symptom or
manifestation of onset or of significant
aggravation after vaccine
administration. Compensation may also
be awarded for conditions not listed in
the Table and for conditions that are
manifested outside the time periods
specified in the table, but only if the
petitioner shows that the condition was
caused by one of the listed vaccines.

Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42
U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that
‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary
receives service of any petition filed
under section 2111, the Secretary shall
publish notice of such petition in the
Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on
December 1, 2017, through December
31, 2017. This list provides the name of
petitioner, city and state of vaccination
(if unknown then city and state of
person or attorney filing claim), and
case number. In cases where the Court
has redacted the name of a petitioner
and/or the case number, the list reflects
such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that
the special master ‘‘shall afford all
interested persons an opportunity to
submit relevant, written information’’
relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that
there is not a preponderance of the
evidence that the illness, disability,
injury, condition, or death described in
the petition is due to factors unrelated
to the administration of the vaccine
described in the petition,’’ and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the
petitioner either:
a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition not set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table but which was
caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred
to in the Table, or
b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom
or manifestation of the onset or
significant aggravation of which did not
occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a
vaccine’’ referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section
2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to
the issues described above in the case of
the petitions listed below. Any person
choosing to do so should file an original
and three (3) copies of the information
with the Clerk of the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims at the address listed
above (under the heading FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT), with a copy to
HRSA addressed to Director, Division of
Injury Compensation Programs,
Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600
Fishers Lane, 08N146B, Rockville, MD
20857. The Court’s caption (Petitioner’s
Name v. Secretary of HHS) and the
docket number assigned to the petition
should be used as the caption for the
written submission. Chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, related to
paperwork reduction, does not apply to

by the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While the Secretary
of HHS (the Secretary) is named as the respondent in all proceedings
brought by the filing of petitions for compensation under the Program,
the United States Court of Federal Claims is charged by statute with
responsibility for considering and acting upon the petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the program in general, contact Lisa L. Reyes,
Acting Clerk, United States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Place
NW, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357-6400. For information on HRSA's
role in the program, contact the Director, National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 08N146B, Rockville, MD
20857; (301) 443-6593, or visit our website at: https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The program provides a system of no-fault
compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified
childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C.
300aa-10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file
a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of
the petition on the Secretary of HHS, who is named as the respondent in
each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under
the program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint
special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as appropriate, and
make initial decisions as to eligibility for, and amount of,
compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities,
illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in
the Vaccine Injury Table (the table) set forth at 42 CFR 100.3. This
table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions that may
lead to compensation and, for each condition, the time period for
occurrence of the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of
significant aggravation after vaccine administration. Compensation may
also be awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for
conditions that are manifested outside the time periods specified in
the table, but only if the petitioner shows that the condition was
caused by one of the listed vaccines.
Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa-12(b)(2),
requires that ``[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service
of any petition filed under section 2111, the Secretary shall publish
notice of such petition in the Federal Register.'' Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on December 1, 2017, through
December 31, 2017. This list provides the name of petitioner, city and
state of vaccination (if unknown then city and state of person or
attorney filing claim), and case number. In cases where the Court has
redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the list
reflects such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ``shall
afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant,
written information'' relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ``that there is not a preponderance of
the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death
described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the
administration of the vaccine described in the petition,'' and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either:
a. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury
Table but which was caused by'' one of the vaccines referred to in the
Table, or
b. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table
the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant
aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a vaccine'' referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to the issues described above in
the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so
should file an original and three (3) copies of the information with
the Clerk of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims at the address listed
above (under the heading For Further Information Contact), with a copy
to HRSA addressed to Director, Division of Injury Compensation
Programs, Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, 08N146B,
Rockville, MD 20857. The Court's caption (Petitioner's Name v.
Secretary of HHS) and the docket number assigned to the petition should
be used as the caption for the written submission. Chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, related to paperwork reduction, does not apply
to
