After she was received the cervical cancer jab, Ashleigh Cave, a 12-year-old schoolgirl, has been left paralyzed from the waist down by a unknown illness that came just on 30 minutes. She suffered headaches and dizziness soon after the vaccination at her school and then worsened rapidly, fainted several times over the next days.
After losing all strength in her legs, a week later she was admitted to hospital and, two months after that, there has been no improvement. Her mother is blaming her daughter’s condition on the cervical cancer jab that given to Her.
Is the jab has terrible side effects? Before we talk abut the side effects, we better to understand what are cervical cancer vaccines?
The cervical cancer vaccine are recommended for girls ages 11 to 12, although it may be given to girls as young as age 9. It’s urgent for girls to receive the vaccine before they are exposed to HPV. Once a woman or girl has been infected with HPV, the vaccine may not work effective.
Cervarix and Gardasil are the available vaccine at the present. It have been shown to prevent cervical dysplasia from the HPV strains that they target, that is, types 16 and 18 for Cervarix and types 16, 18, 6, and 11 for Gardasil. This effect has lasted more than 6 years for Cervarix and 4 years after vaccination for Gardasil.
The side effects
The effects of cervical cancer jabs are usually mild. Especially in adolescents, sometimes fainting occurs after the injection or just dizziness. Remaining seated for 15 minutes after the injection can reduce the risk of fainting. In addition, Cervarix may also cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain.
The most common side effects of both HPV vaccines include low-grade fever or flu-like symptoms soreness at the injection site at the upper arm and headaches.
Serious cervical cancer jab side effects are including a severe allergic response, neurological conditions such as weakness, paralysis and brain swelling, have been reported in a small number of women.
To date, however, almost all reports of such adverse side effects of cervical cancer jab appear to have occurred by chance around the time of immunization. They don’t look to have been caused by the vaccine itself.
