Hi i was curious what are the side effects of the hpv shot i got vaccinated for hpv today but i don't know what kind it was ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost none: Not sure what you mean by "what kind". In the US, only one HPV vaccine is available (Gardasil). You might have a little pain at the injection site for a couple of days, but that's about all. So congratulations on starting the vaccine; you won't regret it. But be sure and get the second dose in 1-2 months and the third at 6 months.
