    I was just reading several articles on current.com about the adverse side effects of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. I got the first injection in April at my school health fair. I got the second injection in July. This month, I am due for the third injection.

    There were articles on the site talking about how the vaccine can cause genital warts, cervical cancer, blood clots, seizures and death. I'm kind of freaked out now. I mean, I'm kind of relieved because I feel like I would have already experienced those side effects if they were going to happen, but still. Who knows what the long-term effects could be. Now I'm thinking getting the third and final injection may not be such a good idea.

    Has anyone else done research on this topic? Or received the vaccine and had good/bad experiences?

    I kinda wish I would have never gotten the stupid vaccine, but it was free and hyped up to be SO WONDERFUL & SAFE. :( This is scary.

    well, i'm kind of freaking out that, you belive what you read at current.com!
    why not get your health news, from the national inquier while your at it?
    both of those media sources are what is known as 'vulture culture' they prey on and explote those who use them.

    if you want the most recent RELIABLE information, go to the FDA (food and drug administration) website and check out the vaccine.
    all side effect to drugs must be reported to the FDA by law. that is were every report winds up for evaluation.

    i'm sure, once you read the reports and evaluation your mind will be put one big hell of a lot ease.
    i know your going to feel like a fool, for listing to vulture media but, please, don't beat yourself over the head and shoulders for it.
    i have done the same kind of foolish and stupid thing too and, i learned from my mistakes.
    you do the same, ok?
