A member asked:
What are side effect of taking gardsil? does it really prevent cervical cancer because if it did doesn't that mean they found a cure for cancer confus
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing major: No major side effects have been linked to the Gardasil vaccine. Minor side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and pain at the injection site. Gardasil provides immunity against hpv types 16 and 18, which cause almost 70% of cervical cancers. But not all hpv types are covered.
