DECISION
On March 23, 2009, Petitioners filed a Petition for Vaccine Compensation in the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“the Program”),1 alleging that various vaccinations
injured F.H. However, on March 1, 2016, Petitioners moved for a decision dismissing their
petition, acknowledging that they will be unable to prove they are entitled to compensation in the
Program. Petitioners’ Motion represents that Respondent does not oppose Petitioners’ request.
It is clear from the record in this case that Petitioners are not able to demonstrate either
that F.H. suffered a “Table Injury” or that F.H.’s injuries were “actually caused” by a
vaccination. Thus, this case is dismissed. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
