Hpv vaccine: This vaccine is one of the safest we have available. Unfortunately some girls have fainted at the sight ot a needle and the vaccine bas gotten a bum rap.

Rare reactions: I have personally given probably thousands of doses of hpv vaccine over the past 5 years, and have never had a serious reaction or a person faint. The arm can be a little sore the next day for some, but other than that, most have no reaction. 3 doses of this is a whole lot better than cervical cancer, genital warts, mouth cancer , penis cancer, anal cancer... No contest!
