       On October 13, 2020, Taylor Osborne filed a petition for compensation under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa—10 through 34.2
Petitioner alleged that she suffered an adverse reaction to an influenza vaccination she
received on October 21, 2019. Petition at 1. On January 11, 2021, Petitioner filed a
notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a).

      In light of Petitioner’s “notice of dismissal at any time before service of
respondent’s report” pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a), this case is dismissed without
prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
