How Long Does It Take To The Show Side-Effects Of Gardasil?

Question

[I'm 17, if that makes a difference.]

Okay, I went to my doctor about two days ago to get my Hepatitis A shot. That's all I was concerned on getting that day, but my doctor suggested that I get the Gardasil shot, that deters cervical cancer by showing signs of; and avoids the user to be diagnosed with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). I took the first out of three shots.

Later that day, I felt fine. Just soreness at the injection site, which was expected. And the day after I felt fine too. But today is a different story. I woke up, and my pelvic area was hurting, and felt inflamed. I felt dizzy, and nauseous about 20 minutes after that, and also a case of slight fatigue, and diarrhea. I looked up the side-effects online, and all of those are listed effects of Gardasil. I'm not a sickly person, and these signs hadn't occured until after I took the shot. And I have the feeling that I'm about to vomit, even as I'm typing this.

The catch is, I looked on various websites, and none of them tell me how long it takes before Gardasil starts taking it's toll.

My question is, do these symptoms have anything to do with the Gardasil injection? How long does it take show the side-effects after you've taken the shot? I took the shot two days ago, and the first few days I felt nothing. Why would I start being in pain all of a sudden?

Answer 1

Having common side effects of a medicine within 24 hours is pretty common (even faster for allergic reactions, but yes, it can be absorbed by the system very quickly). The fact that all of the indications you have are listed as side effects just makes it more apparent that it's the drug that did it.

I would definitely call your doctor ASAP and tell them that you are having major side effects from it and see if they have an antidote or something to get it out of your system faster.



The most obvious statement would be to not get any more of the Gardasil if you have this bad of a reaction. Besides, based on the stats that are given by the company that makes it, I think it only helps maybe 1-2% of the population (if that) while giving bad side effects like you're experiencing to many more people than it helps.

Good luck and I hope I helped!

Answer 2

This is more than likely unrelated. These sort of symptoms should show within the first day and normally within the first couple of hours. That is why in the clinic I work in we normally recommend people stay for about 20 minutes after receiving any vaccines. I would see a doctor about this. Let them know exactly what you have posted here. The side effects of Gardasil are very minor and I have not seen these symptoms as side effects in any patients I have administered Gardasil to. Also, Merck is not the only company making an HPV vaccination. Check out GSK.

Answer 3

There are 3 shots needed for Gardasil and you have to get them within 6 months. I just turned 13 and I got it when I was 12. When they stick in the needle, there's a pinch, but I think it hurts the most when they take it out. It's not that bad. The next few days, it may hurt in the area that you go the shot, but after that, I was perfectly fine. So, don't worry!

Answer 4

Side effects can occur anywhere from immediately to several days or longer afterwards. The main thing is to stay awary from any more Gardasil. It is an evil mainstream abomination by the most evil drug maker of them all - Merck. That would be the same company that forged tests and hid reports of harm for Vioxx, and then fought to keep it on the market until there were over 60,000 deaths attributed to it. And then there is Avandia and Gardasil in their hall of shame, and I have no doubt Gardasil will soon follow.



According to some reports, Gardasil causes 400 percent more deaths than other common vaccines, and virtually no vaccine is safe. Judicial Watch says it has obtained records from the FDA documenting 28 deaths in 2008 associated with Gardasil, up from 19 deaths in 2007. According to the group, the FDA documented 6,723 "adverse events" related to Gardasil in 2008, of which 1,061 were considered "serious," and 142 considered "life threatening."



NVIC's latest Gardasil risk report comparing the number and severity of adverse events reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) through November 30, 2008, reveals that death and serious health problems such as stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus and rechallenge cases are reported three to 30 times more frequently after Gardasil vaccination than after meningococcal (Menactra) vaccination. If the deaths and serious injuries being reported after Gardasil were only a "coincidence," there would be little or no difference between the frequency and severity of vaccine-related adverse events between two vaccines if the vaccines were equally reactive and the number of doses were roughly the same.



Like far too much of mainstream medicine when it comes to dangerous and questionable drugs like Gardasil, healing and humanity often take a backseat to profit and greed.



How about a little vaccine truth:

Answer 5

I would think it would take a couple of days or so for your body to react to the shot so this may very well be a side effect. I would definitely call your doctor as soon as you can.

Answer 6

Sometimes meds and immunizations take a while to get through your body. I'm sure you'll be fine in a day if not, give your doctors office a call.
