MILLMAN, Special Master

                              DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES1

         On January 29, 2019, the parties filed the attached stipulation in which they agreed to
settle this case and described the settlement terms. Petitioner alleges that her child, E.W.H.,
suffered eczema and scarring as a result of his May 22, 2014 receipt of varicella, measles mumps
rubella (“MMR”), diphtheria tetanus acellular pertussis (“DTaP”), inactivated polio virus
(“IPV”), and influenza (“flu”) vaccines. Respondent denies that these vaccines, alone or in
combination, caused petitioner’s son’s eczema or any other injury. Nonetheless, the parties
agreed to resolve this matter informally.

  Because this unpublished decision contains a reasoned explanation for the special master’s action in this
case, the special master intends to post this unpublished decision on the United States Court of Federal
Claims’ website, in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-347, 116 Stat. 2899,
2913 (Dec. 17, 2002). This means the decision will be available to anyone with access to the
Internet. Vaccine Rule 18(b) states that all decisions of the special masters will be made available to the
public unless they contain trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged and
confidential, or medical or similar information whose disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of privacy. When such a decision is filed, petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to delete
such information prior to the document’s disclosure. If the special master, upon review, agrees that the
identified material fits within the banned categories listed above, the special master shall delete such
material from public access.
         The undersigned finds the terms of the stipulation to be reasonable. The court hereby
adopts the parties’ said stipulation, attached hereto, and awards compensation in the amount and
on the terms set forth therein. Pursuant to the stipulation, the court awards a lump sum of
$12,500.00, in the form of a check payable to petitioner, as guardian/conservator of E.W.H.’s
estate, representing compensation for all damages that would be available under 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(a).

       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.2


IT IS SO ORDERED.


Dated: January 29, 2019                                           /s/ Laura D. Millman
                                                                    Laura D. Millman
                                                                     Special Master

  Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 11(a), entry of judgment can be expedited by each party, either separately or
jointly, filing a notice renouncing the right to seek review.
