                                               DECISION 1

        On May 22, 2013, Cristal Bello (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for compensation under the
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 et seq. (2006) (“Vaccine
Act”). Petitioner alleged that the administration of a Human Papillomavirus (“HPV”) vaccine on
June 4, 2010 caused her to suffer from premature ovarian failure.

       On November 24, 2015, the parties filed a Stipulation of Fact Concerning Petitioner’s
Costs. Pursuant to their stipulation, the parties have agreed to an award of $1,015.47 for costs
incurred personally by Petitioner.

       The undersigned finds that an award for costs is appropriate pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(b) and (e)(1). Further, the proposed amount seems reasonable and appropriate.
Accordingly, the undersigned hereby awards the amount of $1,015.47, in the form of a
check made payable solely to Petitioner, Cristal Bello.

         In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the clerk of
