A member asked:

Is it possible to get a torn rotator cuff from a gardasil shot?

No: The vaccine is given into the muscle & slowly enters the circulation where it sets up the immune response. It has no access to the shoulder capsule.

Nope: The rotator cuff lies underneath the deltoid muscle so this is not possibly related to getting your gardasil!
