HPV vaccine

[glen quagmire]

My daughter has just walked in the door, and gave me the consent pack to fill in for this. I've spent 5 mins researching the nhs website, the official stance is that it can't GUARANTEE that the recipient of this will not get cervical cancer, the only way is regular cervical screening. There are a lot of people saying the side affects are terrible, most with aching limbs, sickness and one girl got athritis.

I know most of my posts are tounge in cheek, but i would appreciate anyone's input who has either experienced this or has any other knowledge on this subject.

Cheers.

Basically from what i was told, the vaccine prevents you from getting a virus(cant remember what it's called) that is the cause of 90% of cervical cancers.

This may be incorrect though, so don't take my word for it.

Cheers, i was hoping for any one who's had it, or who's daughter has had it.

I've had all 3 of the vaccines, is that what shes got the pack for?
The second one hurt the most, but no real difference to any other injection. Just an aching arm that lasts a day or two, seems to be the same for everyone too.
