For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My daughter had the 1st Gardasil 9 injection 6 years ago at the age of 13. Within 6 months, developed ulcerative colitis, which is an autoimmune disease. Never had any problems before the vaccine. I do not recommend this vaccine, my daughter has been through a nightmare the last 6 years with this disease."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "This shot ruined my life. After receiving this vaccine, I began to pass out up to ten times a day. I couldn't do anything because I would faint without warning. Now I have horrible tremors, GI problems, and daily joint pain. I have heard other people have had these same effects from this vaccine. My doctor was very pushy about getting this vaccine. I would never recommend this vaccine."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My first shot was in junior high. I was on the cheer team and very athletic. A few weeks after the first shot, I was always dizzy, bright lights made my eyes tear up for no reason. I had horrible headaches that I still have today. I was and still am always tired for no reason. I have autoimmune problems (lupus SLE has been suggested). I have horrible GI problems, which I pay out of pocket for every three months to see my GI. I have bleeding ulcers that have been treated and tested but don't go away. I constantly have diarrhea and severe upset stomach. I have mild tremors that have been related to my headaches. My youngest son was born with stomach problems now (hasn't been proven to be related to Gardasil). I'm 24 with all these problems."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "I received two doses of Gardasil, and it was all fine. But the third one gave me dizziness and an infection in the vagina and in the mouth that does not go away. Also, I feel that I am fainting all the time. I feel horrible. Not to mention all the GI problems. It has been horrible. I really hope that my health gets better after all this pain. I received the third shot two weeks ago."
