Statute of Limitations – Premature Ovarian Failure

mctlaw

Premature Ovarian Failure Mini Omnibus

This group of cases has been attempting to resolve when the first symptom or manifestation of onset occurs in POF, for purposes of the SOL. The court held that for petitioners who were eighteen years old or younger at the time the condition arose, if the condition qualifies for evaluation on the ACOG chart, it constitutes a symptom for purposes of the Vaccine Act. For petitioners who were over eighteen years old at the time the condition arose, the chart also applies, except that periods that should be evaluated include those that occur more frequently than every 21 days or less frequently than every 34 days.

The ACOG chart is an opinion from the Committee on Adolescent Healthcare at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, together with the American Academy of Pediatrics, entitled “Menstruation in Girls and Adolescents: Using the Menstrual Cycle as a Vital Sign.

Different onset rules were developed for women using contraceptives, depending on the type of contraceptive used.
