The jab has been avaliable for about 3 years now ..the idea is to "catch" the girls before they have sex ...as this jab ONLY covers SOME viruses that cause cancer.............

Please remeber they stll need to have smears which is what will bring down the cancer rate for cervical cancers

Thats the one Kemp my eldest daughter (not yet 14) has had 2 out of 3 injections in theory all may seem well but some of us parents have a moral decision to make regarding the 3rd dose

the article is concerning adverse effects of what may occur in certain young girls with weak immune systems (which includes my daughter) the mother of a girl just turned 18 is interviewed about the effects it has had on her daughter I've seen these effects first hand and they are
NOT nice in the least

I just had my last jab about a month ago (and I'm nearly 25 . . .) and I noticed I did feel like I was coming down with the flu for about a day afterwards, but whether that was something I'd just picked up anyway I don't know.

there have been some pretty adverse reactions to these injections thankfully they are very few and widespread across the world my friend "S" had always been very healthy till she had the injection she then became a totally different person its only being recently it has been attributed to the injections which apparently still under "trial"

Kate like any injection it will have weakened your immunity temperarily but it doesn't neccessarily mean it was to do with the injection funnily enough the following day after our girls had their first dose only 4 girls in the year group where in school the following day but they may have just took the day off for the sake of it
