Side Effects From Cervical Cancer Vaccine

I recieved an email from my friend Sally living in Australia. She wrote to highlight about the side effects of the cervical cancer vaccine. I guess with all vaccines you need to have a consultation with your GP about side effects vs its benefits etc before making the decision.
Its great that Sally shared the effects her girls had when they were given the vaccine .Below is an extract of her mail
"You know the free cervical cancer vaccine has already been offered to the girls(at school) over here. Both my girls have it done. Like most vaccine, there's also side effects and some parents are concerned about the effects. Very rarely, will there be complications.........the arm gets quite sore after the injection for a few days and some people might have a fever......."
Thanks Sally for your sharing!.

Cervical Cancer Vaccine

Free Cervical Cancer vaccine for young woman aged 17 to18 years in New Zealand. Although I have no daughters, I am happy to hear that such a vaccine is available for young women for FREE!.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. According to morning news, approximately 160 women in New Zealand are diagnosed with cervical cancer yearly, and 60 women die from it.
Young women aged 12 to 18 years will be offered the vaccine, through schools next year.
