As with any medication, side effects do happen, these side effects vary from person to person. With the HPV Vaccine however, common side effects may include (but not limited to) the following:
* Pain in the area of injection ( up to 83.9% reported)
* Swelling in the area of injection
* Redness in the area of injection
* Fever
* Nausea
* Dizziness
* Diarrhea
About less than 1% reported the following side effects:
* Vomiting
* Toothache
* General ill feeling
* Insomnia
* Stuffy nose
There are also other side effects that need to be reported right away to your healthcare provider and these are the following:
* Very high fever
* Signs of allergic reaction such as difficulty of breathing, wheezing, unusual skin rash, itching or hives.
These last 2 side effects may mean a more serious condition and needs to be reportedly immediately to your doctor.
There may be some instances that you would not experience any of these side effects mentioned, however it is advised that you consult your doctor if any untoward and unusual effect occurs after you have been given the HPV vaccine.
Last year in Toronto, Canada, there have been reported deaths associated with the HPV vaccine and over 3,500 adverse effects reported. In just little over a year, after its general use, the HPV vaccine has been associated with at least five deaths, not to mention thousands of reports of adverse effects, hundreds deemed serious, and many that required hospitalization. Other more serious side effects reported include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures. The vaccine also is controversial; some argue that the HPV vaccine encourages teenaged girls to have sex, and researcher Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, PhD, associate professor of adolescent medicine at UCSF, recently reported that some teenaged girls report more negative consequences, such as “feeling guilty, feeling bad about themselves and being used,” after having sex before they are emotionally ready.
