Question 2

shingles vaccine side effects and last how long?

Accepted Answer

Shingles vaccine: There may be local reactions, but systemic reactions are unusual. For a complete listing of information about any vaccine, go to cdc website and then when on the homepage go to vis (vaccine information statements) about any vaccine you have questions about. These are put together by the experts and have great information on the pros and cons of each vaccine.

Question 3

what are the hpv vaccine side effects 15 years later?

Accepted Answer

Cancer prevention : The hpv vaccine is a safe option recommended for the prevention of cervical cancer. There are no long term negative side effects. The vaccine has not been around for 15 years yet but the technology behind it is the same as the hep b vaccine.  This gives us over 30 years of proven long term safety.

Question 4

rabies vaccine side effects? got my shot yesterday now i feel nauseous is it normal? bitten by my pet rabbit; he's still alive.

Accepted Answer

Rabbit bite: For a rabbit bite to cause rabies would be extremely unusual. Dogs cause 99% of human rabies and I have never seen a case report in the literature of rabies from a rabbit. Hopefully the bite wound is OK- that might be causing the nausea if u have a low grade infection there. Only a few percent of people will get nausea from a rabies vaccine. Hope doc will check you bite wound soon.

Question 5

is it true that vaccines can do more harm than good?i read that it lowers the immune system and can cause things like adhd what's vaccine side effects?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Universally, vaccines have had a wonderful impact on global health.  Individually, there is always a risk of an adverse effect, that can be severe.  I would  argue that typically, the immune system is stronger with vaccines, due to an enhanced protection from disease.  Adhd is far more likely to be caused by other genetic and environmental factors than vaccines.

Question 6

what are the whooping cough vaccine side effects on someone who is 15 or older?

Accepted Answer

Little or nothing: I give it in my office all the time to teens. None report any issue beyond their initial pain and soreness. This is dramatically different from the whooping cough vaccine we gave in the 70's and 80's. The old vaccine had more problems as you got older, and we never gave it after age 6 because of side effects.

Question 7

Question 8
