Last week, the NHS released a report to encourage women and girls that the HPV vaccination was in fact safe and effective to use, after a rise in cases of girls who had adverse reactions to the injection.

The HPV vaccine which has been in the making for over a decade, is said to help immunise girls against an STD call Human Papilloma Virus, which in some cases can lead to cervical and other forms of cancer.

Even though NHS are saying there are ‘scaremongers’ claiming it’s unsafe and they can’t attribute the vaccine to any adverse reaction after over 2 million doses have been administered, an entire support group has arisen to bring awareness to the adverse reactions from this particular vaccine (as there are already numerous support groups for adverse reactions from other vaccinations) called UK Association Of HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters.
