However, many individuals are able to tolerate these vaccines as well as other vaccines without having any of the side effects that are listed. In many cases, if an individual does happen to experience one of these side effects and it is minor, it can easily be treated by the healthcare provider. If you are experiencing any that are more serious, such as signs of an allergic reaction or a very high fever, then you should immediately report them to the healthcare provider that administered the vaccine.

In regards to the HPV vaccine, side effects are listed for precaution. Not every individual that gets the HPV vaccine will be experiencing these effects. Generally, individuals are able to tolerate this vaccine quite well.

The effects listed here are some of the most common side effects reported and are not meant to be a comprehensive  report. If you are further interested in learning more information about this, you need to speak with your healthcare provider as they will be able to discuss the full list with you.

With the HPV vaccine, you are going to come across a number of different side effects that you could experience. Again, if you get any of them, you will need to report them to your healthcare provider in order to get treatment for them. You could develop a very high fever, weakness, tingling or paralysis. You could also develop allergic reactions and show signs of difficulty breathing, wheezing, itching, hives or unusual skin rash.

Similar to other vaccinations, fainting has also been experienced  by some individuals that have been given this vaccine. For fifteen minutes after the vaccine has been administered, patients should be watched in order to make sure fainting does not come about in a dangerous situation, for instance,  driving home.

You do not have much to worry about because the HPV vaccination has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. Through those clinical trials, many individuals were evaluated. These types of studies are extensive, documenting all of the side effects which are then compared to other effects that occur within a similar group of people that do not take the medication.

Through those trials, the following side effects were found:

Pain in the area where the injection was done (83. 9 percent of the people), swelling in the area where the injection was done (25. 4 percent), redness in the area (24. 6 percent) fever (13 percent), nausea (6. 7 percent), diarrhea (3. 6 percent) and dizziness (4 percent).

Other HPV vaccine side effects that were reported in over one percent of women include cough, toothache, vomiting, trouble sleeping, stuffy nose and ill feeling.

It is possible that you may not experience any of the side effects listed above.  However, it is merely impossible for your healthcare provider to know beforehand what symptoms you may experience, if any at all. That is why it is best for you to be as informed as possible and know what to look out for should anything come up.

If you would like to additionally read about the HPV controversy, you can do so here.

The controversy is simple, the shot is given to girls and sometimes boys that are often pre-pubescent meaning they have not started puberty. The HPV virus is often the precursor to cervical cancer and cervical warts that not only can spread to the rest of the body but can also cause sterility.

They have also found the vaccine is effective in those individuals who have not contracted all four types of the HPV virus. It’s predicted that over 80% of the population will contract at least one type of this cancer causing virus, so protection is for everyone.

Why would people be concerned about a cancer prevention shot? It’s because the HPV virus is a sexually transmitted disease and many parents do not want to think about such a young child being sexually active.

Just because it’s given to those who are not yet sexually active doesn’t mean it is encouraging promiscuity or unprotected sex. This vaccine will not prevent other sexually transmitted diseases but has proven over 99% effective against these cancer causing viruses.

Knowledge is power and giving your young child the opportunity to avoid this deadly disease does take careful consideration and conversation with your child.

It’s important that you explain that this vaccine is very similar to others they are given during their childhood and is no way connected to sexual activity or early protection of sexual diseases.

The HPV controversy is widespread usually through rumor and ignorance. Don’t allow your youngster to go unprotected because of hearsay. It’s about protecting your child from future cancer causing viruses that can destroy their future fertility and possibly their life.
