What are the risks of the hpv vaccine? the hpv vaccine has been in the news a lot. are there any dangers associated with getting the vaccine?

Hello. : Hello. The majority of people do not have side effects to HPV vaccinations. More common side effects can include: pain, redness or swelling in the area of the injection; muscle pain; headache; fever; nausea; dizziness; diarrhea and fatigue. Less common side effects can include: insomnia, vomiting, cough, congestion of nose, joint pain and malaise. Rare but dangerous side effects can include: a high fever; an allergic reaction (swelling, rash, itching, shortness of breath) or guillain-barré syndrome which can cause weakness, tingling sensation and paralysis. Headaches, seizures, blood clots & bronchospasm have also been reported.

Safe: The only side effect I have ever seen from Gardasil is stinging at the injection site. There are other possible rare side effects.
