HPV vaccination

[Cell block H fan]

Its really worried me now since I heard today on the news about the 14 yr old dying after she had the HPV vaccination. My daughter is due to have hers at school in october. I used to think about it when it first came out, that maybe one day it will cause problems, like the MMR jabs did a few years ago, & parents stopped getting their babies vaccinated.
Do you think we should be concerned?
Not sure if this is in the right forum?

Apparently she had a serious underlying medical condition - just heard on the news!

You have to remember that out of 1.4 million girls only 1 has died and this is looking unlikely that the vacine has caused the death. Compare this with the 3,000 women/girls that contract cervical cancer each year and the 1,000 avoidable deaths I think you will agree that it is a very tiny risk. Both my girls will having the vacine next month.

Yes you're right. Its reassured me a lot now its turned out the girl had underlying health problems. Poor kid.
I really want my daughter to have it, as we seem to have a family history of abnormal smears & needing treatment for it, if it actually runs in families! So I am glad they have this jab now.

The MMR vaccine causing autism story (if thats what you are referring to, if not I apologise) had only one scientific paper behind it which has now been revealed to be rubbish, basically. Very few people worth listening to believe for a second that it causes autism.

The girl, as someone else said, had an underlying health problem. But even if she didn't, the odds are tremendously small! I think overall this vaccine is a good idea, although there seems to be a lot of misinformation about, like "this'll protect me against all HPV", not true.

I think its just the main one that causes cervical cancer? I know not everyone that gets cervical cancer has the HPvirus, so it wont wipe it out completely, but it will definately help x
