DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES 1

On October 4, 2018, Durenda Whitehead and Keynard Shawtell Johnson filed a petition on behalf of their minor son, K.S.J., Jr. (“K.J.”) seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. 2 (ECF No. 1). Petitioners alleged that K.J. suffered vaccine- induced seizures and encephalopathy as a result of receiving the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine on January 17, 2017. Petition at 1. Alternatively, they alleged that receipt of several vaccines ((including the influenza, hepatitis A, diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated polio vaccine, haemophilus influenza type B, and pneumococcal conjugate (“PCV12”) vaccines) on January 17, 2017 caused K.J. to suffer the “activation of his SLC19A3 gene variant” leading him to experience an “SLC19A3-related encephalopathy.” Petitioner’s Prehearing Brief, filed Nov. 19, 2020 (ECF No. 32).

I held an entitlement hearing in the matter, and found in favor of Petitioners. Ruling on Entitlement. (ECF No. 42). On January 5, 2024, Respondent filed a proffer proposing an award of compensation. (ECF No. 59). I have reviewed the file, and based upon that review I conclude that the Respondent’s proffer (as attached hereto) is reasonable. I therefore adopt it as my decision in awarding damages on the terms set forth therein.

The proffer awards: • A lump sum payment of $1,616,572.94 representing compensation for pain and suffering ($250,000.00), life care expenses for the first year after judgment ($251,934.06) and future lost earnings ($1,114,638.88), in the form of a check payable to Petitioners as guardians/conservators of K.J.’s estate (see terms in the attached Proffer); and

• An amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract to provide payments for the items in the life care plan, as described in the attached proffer.

Proffer at II. These amounts represent compensation for all elements of compensation under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a) to which Petitioners are entitled.

The Proffer also specifies that:

“No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with documentation establishing that they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of K.J.’s estate. If petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of K.J., any such payment shall be made to the party or parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of K.J. upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the Secretary.” I approve a Vaccine Program award in the requested amount set forth above to be made to

Petitioners, in accordance with the forementioned terms (including the guardianship requirements). In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment herewith. 3

IT IS SO ORDERED.

RESPONDENT’S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION On October 4, 2018, Durenda Whitehead and Keynard Shawtell Johnson, Sr., (“petitioners”), on behalf of her minor son, K.S.J., Jr. (hereinafter referred to as “K.J.”), filed a petition for compensation under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to -34 (“Vaccine Act” or “Act”), alleging that as a result of receiving the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (“MMRV”) vaccine on January 17, 2017, K.J. suffered vaccine- induced seizures and encephalopathy. Petition at 1 (ECF No. 1). In the alternative, Petitioners alleged that K.J.’s receipt of several vaccines on January 17, 2017 (including the MMRV, influenza, hepatitis A, diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated polio vaccine, haemophilus influenza type B, and pneumococcal conjugate (“PCV12”) vaccines, caused him to suffer “the activation of his SLC19A3 gene variant,” leading him to experience an “SLC19A3-related encephalopathy.” Petitioners’ Prehearing Brief, filed Nov. 19, 2020 (ECF No. 32). On September 29, 2021, Chief Special Master Corcoran issued a Ruling on Entitlement in favor of petitioners. ECF No. 42. Respondent now proffers the following regarding the amount of compensation to be awarded. 1 I. Items of Compensation

A. Life Care Items Respondent engaged life care planner M. Virginia Walton, M.S.N., RN, FNP, CLCP, and petitioners engaged Audrey Cowart, M.Ed., CRC, LPC, CLCP, to provide an estimation of K.J.’s future vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this proffer, the term “vaccine related” is as described in the Special Master’s September 29, 2021, Ruling on Entitlement. All items of compensation identified in the life care plan are supported by the evidence and are illustrated by the chart entitled Appendix A: Items of Compensation for K.J., attached hereto as Tab A. 2 Petitioners agree.

B. Lost Future Earnings The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record, K.J. will not be gainfully employed in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers that K.J. should be awarded lost future earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(3)(B). Respondent proffers that the appropriate award for K.J.’s lost future earnings is $1,114,638.88. Petitioners agree.

C. Pain and Suffering Respondent proffers that K.J. should be awarded $250,000.00 in actual pain and suffering. See 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioners agree.

II. Form of the Award

The parties recommend that the compensation provided to K.J. should be made through a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below, and request that the Special Master’s decision and the Court’s judgment award the following: 3

A. A lump sum payment of $1,616,572.94, representing compensation for life care expenses in the first year after judgment ($251,934.06), lost future earnings ($1,114,638.88), and pain and suffering ($250,000.00), in the form of a check payable to petitioners as guardian(s)/ conservator(s) of the estate of K.J., for the benefit of K.J. No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with documentation establishing that they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of K.J.’s estate. If petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of K.J., any such payment shall be made to the party or parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of K.J. upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the Secretary.

B. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract, 4 subject to the conditions described below, that will provide payments for the life care items contained in the life care plan, as illustrated by the chart at Tab A attached hereto, paid to the life insurance company 5 from which the annuity will be purchased. 6 Compensation for Year Two (beginning on the first anniversary of the date of judgment) and all subsequent years shall be provided through respondent’s purchase of an annuity, which annuity shall make payments directly to petitioners only so long as K.J. is alive at the time a particular payment is due. At the Secretary‘s sole discretion, the periodic payments may be provided to petitioners in monthly, quarterly, annual or other installments. The “annual amounts“ set forth in the chart at Tab A describe only the total yearly sum to be paid to petitioners and do not require that the payment be made in one annual installment.

1. Growth Rate Respondent proffers that a four percent (4%) growth rate should be applied to all non- medical life care items, and a five percent (5%) growth rate should be applied to all medical life care items. Thus, the benefits illustrated in the chart at Tab A that are to be paid through annuity payments should grow as follows: four percent (4%) compounded annually from the date of judgment for non-medical items, and five percent (5%) compounded annually from the date of judgment for medical items. Petitioners agree.

2. Life-Contingent Annuity The petitioners will continue to receive the annuity payments from the Life Insurance Company only so long as K.J. is alive at the time that a particular payment is due. Written notice shall be provided to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Life Insurance Company within twenty (20) days of K.J.’s death.

3. Guardianship No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with documentation establishing that they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of K.J.’s estate. If petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/ conservator(s) of the estate of K.J., any such payment shall be made to the party or parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of K.J. upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the Secretary. III. Summary of Recommended Payments Following Judgment

A. Lump Sum paid to the court-appointed guardian(s)/ conservator(s) of the estate of K.J. for the benefit of K.J.: $ 1,616,572.94 B. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract described above in section II. B.
