Vaccine Court Awards Family $310,000, Rules Encephalitis After MMR Shot Killed Toddler
The family of 14-month-old Violet Skye Rodela, who died 19 days after getting an MMR and other routine vaccines, won compensation from the VICP for the toddler’s death.
The family of another infant who died in her sleep after receiving routine vaccines has won a settlement from the U.S. government’s vaccine court, which determined the vaccines caused the infant to develop encephalitis.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) awarded Matthew Rodela and Casandra Hogan $310,000 for the death of their 14-month-old daughter, Violet Skye Rodela.
Violet died on March 11, 2015, 19 days after receiving the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, along with several other routine childhood immunizations.
The award included a $250,000 standard death benefit and $60,000 for pain and suffering. The court granted the settlement, which also covered the family’s legal fees, in September 2024. However, technical issues with a California probate court caused a delay in finalizing the financial award.
The vaccine court’s decision grants Violet’s parents legal recognition that their daughter suffered an adverse event from the MMR vaccine listed on the official Vaccine Injury Table. The table lists vaccine reactions presumed to be caused by a vaccine, based on specific medical and timing criteria.
Infant deaths following vaccinations are often classified as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), or for toddlers 12-18 months old, sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC). According to vaccine court researcher Wayne Rohde, author of two books on the VICP, only about 50 infant death cases have been compensated since the program was established in 1986.
New chair of CDC vaccine panel fired from pediatric practice, wife says
Kirk Milhoan was removed from his pediatric practice after becoming chair of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, according to his wife, Kimberly Milhoan.
The CDC committee changed its recommendation on the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, advising a two-month delay for babies born to mothers who test negative for the virus.
President Trump praised the new recommendation and instructed HHS to review the childhood vaccine schedule.
Kimberly Milhoan defended her husband, emphasizing his advocacy for vaccines while weighing the benefits and risks based on scientific evidence.
