Yep Deb. It shouldn't matter which side of the vaccination fence you sit on, this is the one time you should just hold off on it till more is known about the long term effects of it.
I had the first one of these vaccines a couple of years ago(no reactions) but never went back for the other 2 shots after further info came out about it. This is a real scary one as it is so new. I am even worried about having one of the shots for it!
My children are ordinarily fully vaccinated, but because there are other methods of avoiding HPV, I allowed my teenaged daughters to make up their own minds about this vaccine. Dd1 had it - and I think wishes she hadn't as she was (probably coincidentally) very run down and had glandular fever soon after that took many months from which to recover. Dd2, who is now seventeen, had severe reactions to vaccinations when she was small, and so has declined the vaccine after informing herself of the risks and benefits.
My concern is how quickly this vaccine became mainstreamed, effectively turning this generation of girls into guinea pigs.
