There are new concerns over the safety of the HPV vaccine. The vaccine is routinely recommended for 11 and 12 year old girls. Gardasil has most recently been the subject of 7,802 "adverse event" reports from the time the FDA approved its use two years ago. Several women have blamed the vaccine for causing ailments from nausea to death. The CDC says that it continues to study the reports of illness.
Merck has distributed more than 26 million Gardasil vaccines worldwide, including nearly 16 million in the United States. As of July 8th, a statement on Merck's page says "Merck has analyzed the adverse events reported for GARDASIL relating to the recent reports of death and paralysis, and based on the data available to Merck, believes that no safety issue related to the vaccine has been identified."
With so much conflicting information out there, what do you think?






Males should be given the same cares as females. The HPV virus is in no way something that only females can have an issue with. Males need to be given the same vaccinations to prevent warts as well as rectal cancer.
