RE: Herd Immunity: The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Is Protecting Even Those Who Don't Receive It

in #steemstem7 years ago

Really helpful information, thank you.
It's real that all of the HPV vaccines were tested in thousands of people around the world before they were approved. So far, all studies show no serious side effects caused by the vaccines, and no deaths have been linked to any HPV vaccine. Common, mild side effects include pain and redness where the shot was given, fever, dizziness, and nausea.

People may faint after getting any vaccine, including HPV vaccines. Fainting after getting a shot is more common in teens than in young children or adults. To keep people from getting hurt from fainting, a 15-minute waiting period for people of all ages is recommended after any vaccination.

First time I hear of fainting after a vaccine.. is it like a fear response or something else?
