United States Federal Circuit
Cloer v. Sec'y of Health & Human Serv., 09-5052
Decision affirming a Chief Special Masters' report denying petitioner's request for compensation under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is reversed and remanded as the Vaccine Act's statute of limitations, 42 U.S.C. section 300aa-16(a)(2), does not begin to run where a claimant experiences a symptom of injury, but the medical community at large does not recognize that the symptom is related to a vaccine and the claimant has not received medical information suggesting a connection.
