Hannah Poling's parents maintain that her autism developed after she received nine vaccines in one day when she was 19 months old. In March 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services determined that the vaccines may have aggravated Hannah's underlying mitochondrial disease, triggering her autism, and therefore she was entitled to compensation from the federal vaccine injury fund. The court decision does not specifically acknowledge a link between vaccines and autism.
