HPV VACCINE

[Anonymous]

After her second shot my daughter passed out in the waiting room on the way out of the doctors office. But I’m still glad she got it and DS will get it when he’s old enough.

My son got it. My daughter will, too.

One positive side effect was that my son's planters warts disappeared about a month after he was vaccinated.

My son just got his. No problems.

Yes. Your child should get it. Throat cancer and ovarian cancer are both horrible ways to go.


Side effects for my child were a lousy next day, but nothing serious. I would do it on a friday.

You probably know this, but in case others don't:

For now on, she has to tell drs that this happened to her and make sure she gets her shots safely. You don't want her to pass out and crack open her skull or otherwise get injured, so she needs to take it slow.

My 15 year old and 12 year old got first dose in August. They have never had a reaction to any vaccine prior. Get the flu vaccine yearly.

They both had reactions in the first 24 hours. Younger one got dizzy and zoned out an hour or so later. Couldn’t eat dinner. Older one nearly passed out at a field, extreme dizziness and I had to pick him up.

No other reactions since then but scared the shit out of me and made me second guess—especially because they are boys.

I’m pro-vaccine and would 100% give it to a daughter. Cervical cancer risk is real. I’m 50-50 on boys. If son turns out to be gay it would perhaps have benefit. I think the oral cancer HPV thing for men is overblown.

Nobody had been vaccinated prior. I’m 50 and never had HPV—always tested negative.

HPV does NOT cause ovarian cancer. You mean cervical cancer.

That's scary! Did your kids get the second shots?

They have until next August to get the 2nd dose. Doubtful I will do it.

My husband reported reaction to CDC adverse vaccine reaction database.

In your place, I wouldn't do the second round.

I’ve honestly have never heard of any real downside. But my younger kid is about 5 years out. Anti-vaxxers are against it. People who just don’t want to deal with the idea their kids may one day be sexually active often push it off because they think their kids are way too young. Which is the point of getting it at 11-12.

What’s your concern, exactly? My default position is vaccinate unless their is a good reason not to. And a 100 degree fever for a day and my not liking the fact my kid could one day get an std aren’t good reasons to protect my kid from cancer.

All 3 of my kids received it.
Even if they don't become voluntarily sexually active for years they could always (God forbid) be assaulted in the intervening years.
Yes, the odds of this are exceedingly slim but why not protect them from HPV?
There just isn't any downside to the vaccine in my mind.

Based on what?

These reactions do sound scary, but they are not dangerous/life-threatening. Please reconsider and have your sons get the second shots. Gay or straight, these cancers are risks to them. And even if they weren’t, you don’t want them to be vectors of HPV to women.

How is it decided if you get 2 doeses or 3? Is it age? If so what is the age you get 2? What is the age you get 3? Is it the brand of the vax (like how with covid some vax is 2 shots, others is 1)?
