Hpv Vaccine
11 Answers
Mini Boo (nearly 13) had her HPV vaccine on Friday at school and unfortunately suffered an allergic reaction to it by dropping like a stone by fainting afterwards. She also suffered for a couple of days with severe headaches and vomiting, and also unable to lift her arm much (though that could be the injection itself and not a reaction??)
Now, my real question, she's understandably worried about the 2nd vaccine she's due to have in 6 months time- should she be? Is she likely to suffer the same consequences? Can't find much information regarding the 2nd jab on Google.
Cheers :-)

BOO...from your description, mini BOO did not have an allergic reaction to the HPV, all she had were side effects.
An allergic reaction is a sudden almost immediate effect with symptoms that are described in danny's link.
An anaphylactic reaction is a contra-indication for the 2nd jab, but side effects (which miniBOO had) is not.
