DECISION AWARDING DAMAGES 1
On September 24, 2012, Laura Day filed a petition for compensation under the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“the Program”), 2 as the legal representative of her then-
minor daughter, Bailey Day, in which she alleged that the Gardasil (“HPV”) and FluMist
(“influenza”) vaccinations Bailey received on September 28, 2011, caused her to develop multiple
sclerosis (“MS”). Petition at 3, ¶11. After the filing of the petition, it was discovered that Bailey
actually suffers from a rare autoimmune disorder known as neuromyelitis optica (“NMO”) or
Devic’s Syndrome, rather than MS. See Petitioner’s (“Pet’r’s”) Exhibit (“Ex.”) 6 at 13.
On November 13, 2015, the undersigned issued a decision finding that petitioner was
entitled to compensation. During the time in which this case was being adjudicated, Bailey Day

Because this decision contains a reasoned explanation for the action in this case, the
undersigned intends to post it on the United States Court of Federal Claims' website, in
accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002. 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012) (Federal
Management and Promotion of Electronic Government Services). In accordance with Vaccine
Rule 18(b), petitioner has 14 days to identify and move to redact medical or other information,
the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. If, upon review,
the undersigned agrees that the identified material fits within this definition, the undersigned will
redact such material from public access.

turned 18 years old and was made the petitioner in her case. On May 31, 2016, the undersigned
awarded Bailey interim damages for past pain and suffering in the amount of $250,000.00. 3
On March 3, 2017, respondent filed a Proffer on Award of Compensation (“Proffer”). In
the Proffer, respondent represented that petitioner agrees with the proffered award. Based on the
record as a whole, the undersigned finds that petitioner is entitled to an award as stated in the
Proffer.
Pursuant to the terms stated in the attached Proffer, the undersigned awards petitioner:
(1) A lump sum payment of $1,283,828.14, representing compensation for life care
expenses expected to be incurred during the first year after judgment
($305,186.22), lost earnings ($968,386.45), and past unreimbursable expenses
($10,255.47), in the form of a check made payable to petitioner, Bailey Day.
(2) A lump sum payment in the amount of $7,584.74, representing compensation for
satisfaction of the State of Indiana Medicaid lien, in the form of a check made
payable to petitioner, Bailey Day and

In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of
the Court SHALL ENTER JUDGMENT herewith. 4
3
Respondent filed a motion for review of this decision on June 30, 2016, and the decision was
affirmed by Judge Wolski on December 7, 2017. The final judgment awarding interim damages
was entered on January 18, 2017. Because petitioner has already received the maximum amount
of pain and suffering damages permitted by the statute, pain and suffering damages are not
awarded in this decision.
4
Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 11(a), entry of judgment is expedited by the parties’ joint filing of
notice renouncing the right to seek review.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

RESPONDENT'S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION
I. Items of Compensation
A. Life Care Items
Respondent engaged life care planner Linda Curtis, RN, MS, CCM, CNLP, and petitioner
engaged Tresa Johnson, RN, BSN, CLCP, to provide an estimation of Bailey Day’s future
vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this proffer, the term “vaccine related” is as
described in the Chief Special Master’s Ruling on Entitlement, filed November 13, 2015. 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 Bailey Day, attached
hereto as Tab A. 1 Respondent proffers that Bailey Day should be awarded all items of
compensation set forth in the life care plan and illustrated by the chart attached at Tab A.
Petitioner agrees.
1
The chart at Tab A illustrates the annual benefits provided by the life care plan. The annual benefit years
run from the date of judgment up to the first anniversary of the date of judgment, and every year thereafter up to the
anniversary of the date of judgment.
-1-
B. Lost Earnings
The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record, Bailey Day has suffered past
loss of earnings and will suffer a loss of earnings in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers
that Bailey Day should be awarded lost earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(a)(3)(B). Respondent proffers that the appropriate award for Bailey Day’s lost
earnings is $968,386.45. Petitioner agrees.
C. Pain and Suffering
On May 31, 2016, the Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding compensation on
an interim basis, awarding pain and suffering in the amount of $250,000.00. An amended
judgment for this component of damages entered on January 18, 2017. This item of
compensation has been paid. Therefore, respondent proffers that petitioner is not entitled to any
additional compensation for pain and suffering under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioner
agrees.
D. Past Unreimbursable Expenses
Evidence supplied by petitioner documents her expenditure of past unreimbursable
expenses related to her vaccine-related injury. Respondent proffers that petitioner should be
awarded past unreimbursable expenses in the amount of $10,255.47. Petitioner agrees.
E. Medicaid Lien
Respondent proffers that Bailey Day should be awarded funds to satisfy a State of
Indiana lien in the amount of $7,584.74, which represents full satisfaction of any right of
subrogation, assignment, claim, lien, or cause of action the State of Indiana may have against any
individual as a result of any Medicaid payments the State of Indiana has made to or on behalf of
Bailey Day from the date of her eligibility for benefits through the date of judgment in this case
-2-
as a result of her vaccine-related injury suffered on or about October 1, 2011, under Title XIX of
the Social Security Act.
II. Form of the Award
The parties recommend that the compensation provided to Bailey Day should be made
through a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below,
and request that the Chief Special Master’s decision and the Court’s judgment award the
following: 2
A. A lump sum payment of $1,283,828.14, representing compensation for life care
expenses expected to be incurred during the first year after judgment ($305,186.22), lost earnings
($968,386.45), and past unreimbursable expenses ($10,255.47), in the form of a check payable to
petitioner, Bailey Day.
B. A lump sum payment of $7,584.74, representing compensation for satisfaction of the
State of Indiana Medicaid lien, payable jointly to petitioner and
Anthem BCBS, Inc.
Attn: Anel Mendez
21555 Oxnard Street
Mail Drop AC-10C
Woodland Hills, CA 91367
Tax ID No. XX-XXXXXXX
Policy No: IN0726491
Petitioner agrees to endorse this payment to the State.
C. An amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract, 3 subject to the conditions
described below, that will provide payments for the life care items contained in the life care plan,
2
Should petitioner die prior to entry of judgment, the parties reserve the right to move the Court for
appropriate relief. In particular, respondent would oppose any award for future medical expenses, future lost
earnings, and future pain and suffering.
3
In respondent’s discretion, respondent may purchase one or more annuity contracts from one or more life
insurance companies.
-3-
as illustrated by the chart at Tab A, attached hereto, paid to the life insurance company 4 from
which the annuity will be purchased. 5 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 petitioner,
Bailey Day, only so long as Bailey Day is alive at the time a particular payment is due. At the
Secretary’s sole discretion, the periodic payments may be provided to petitioner 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 petitioner 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. Petitioner agrees.
4
The Life Insurance Company must have a minimum of $250,000,000 capital and surplus, exclusive of
any mandatory security valuation reserve. The Life Insurance Company must have one of the following ratings
from two of the following rating organizations:
a. A.M. Best Company: A++, A+, A+g, A+p, A+r, or A+s;
b. Moody's Investor Service Claims Paying Rating: Aa3, Aa2, Aa1, or Aaa;
c. Standard and Poor's Corporation Insurer Claims-Paying Ability Rating: AA-, AA, AA+, or
AAA;
d. Fitch Credit Rating Company, Insurance Company Claims Paying Ability Rating: AA-, AA,
AA+, or AAA.
5
Petitioner authorizes the disclosure of certain documents filed by the petitioner in this case consistent
with the Privacy Act and the routine uses described in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program System
of Records, No. 09-15-0056.
-4-
2. Life-contingent annuity
Petitioner will continue to receive the annuity payments from the Life Insurance
Company only so long as she, Bailey Day, 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 Bailey Day’s death.
3. Guardianship
Petitioner is a competent adult. Evidence of guardianship is not required in this case.
III. Summary of Recommended Payments Following Judgment
A. Lump Sum paid to petitioner, Bailey Day: $1,283,828.14
B. Medicaid Lien: $7,584.74
C. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract described
above in section II.C.
