                                                  DECISION

       On March 17, 2006, Eric Moxley and Jaynna Moxley filed a Petition for Vaccine
Compensation in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“the Program”), 1 alleging
that M.M.M. was injured by a vaccine listed in the Vaccine Injury Table. See § 14. The

accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
