Any side effects to getting vaccinated for cervical cancer?

Similar to flu shots: Reactions are infrequent, and similar to other vaccinations like flu vaccine, such as fever, headache or muscle aches. There are some people who are allergic to the shot. Some pain at the injection site can occur. Vaccinations can rarely cause a nerve problem called guillain barre syndrome.

Painful but safe: Pain at the injection site, light-headedness / fainting, and feeling somewhat unwell are the known side-effects. People have gotten seriously sick afterwards but no strong trend linking particular illnesses to the vaccine has been demonstrated with numbers, and the science piranhas look hard for these.
