5 Year Old New Jersey Girl Died from the MMR Vaccine, Holly’s Law Created

Robin Stavola is a mother who tragically lost her young daughter,
Holly, to the second MMR vaccine dose, which was a requirement for Holly
to attend kindergarten in New Jersey.

After Holly suffered a severe reaction to the vaccine, leaving her
convulsing, brain damaged and on life support, her family was told by
the doctors that Holly would remain in a vegetative state and would not
recover. Holly’s parents felt helpless and they reluctantly agreed to
have their daughter removed from life support.

Robin was awarded compensation for Holly’s death after it was
determined the MMR vaccine caused Holly to suffer acute encephalopathy.

After a long battle and without success, Robin fought to change the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She learned most parents
that file a vaccine injury claim get denied compensation.
