For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My family physician finally talked me into giving my son Gardasil his first shot one week before he started his freshman year of college. I am very much for vaccinations, but this one made me pause for years... My son became very sick 24 hours after the shot. Unfortunately, we did not put two and two together. So when it was time for the second injection, we did it. BIG mistake! He became so sick. Fever, chills, excruciating headache, extreme weight loss, extremely sore throat, nausea... He was 6' tall and 165 lbs. He lost 26 pounds in 2 months after receiving this vaccine. We took him to multiple doctors to find out what was going on. They thought he had MONO, but all tests came back negative. He struggled with all of these symptoms for over four months. I immediately realized it was all due to this vaccine. We did not allow him to have the third one. God only knows what would have happened. Please think long and hard before giving your child this terrible vaccine."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "The HPV vaccine hurts, pain level 8/10. Never experienced this pain with any sort of vaccine apart from HPV. Received shot on Monday, and since then, been getting constant chills, high fever, diarrhea, and joint pain for the past 48 hours. And swelling, pain, and redness around the site of injection."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "I had my first dose of HPV vaccine early this year, January 2020. After a day of receiving this, I had a fever, followed by days of body chills, excruciating headache, sore throat, nausea, heart palpitations, erratic heartbeats. Days and months of suffering, I went for a cardiologist consultation and did all the tests they required. All my blood tests and investigations came back normal. I never got my second dose of the vaccine. Up to now, September 2020, I still experienced body chills, but the rest of the symptoms were gone. I will not recommend this vaccine to anyone."
