Gardasil Side Effects May Include Paralysis, Death
Gardasil
Approved to prevent against certain strains of HPV in males and females between the ages of 9 and 26, Gardasil has been linked to a number of serious side effects. More than 8000 complaints of Gardasil side effects have been reported, with as many as 51 deaths among the reports. While the number of injuries from Gardasil side effects has been relatively low, several high profile cases, mostly involving paralysis and death, have increased public awareness of the potential Gardasil risks.

Gardasil Side Effects: Paralysis, Coma
The following are among the alleged Gardasil problems experienced by those injected with the HPV vaccine:
- Seizures
- Paralysis
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Coma
- Bells palsy
- Blood clots
- Anaphylactic shock
- Spontaneous abortion
- Death
While there is no definitive link between these side effects and Gardasil, some doctors have begun to take notice of the HPV vaccine’s risks, with certain physicians stating that Gardasil, if used, should be limited to women who have reached the age of maturity. No link between age and Gardasil reactions, however, has been reported.

Gardasil Deaths
As of Feb. 14, 2011, the CDC has reported that there have been 51 reports of Gardasil deaths among females who received the HPV vaccine. A total of 32 of these Gardasil death reports have been confirmed, meaning that a doctor has reviewed the report and any associated records. There have been two reports of Gardasil deaths among males who were injected with the vaccine. The CDC maintains, however, that there was no unusual pattern or clustering to the Gardasil deaths which would suggest that they were caused by the HPV vaccine.
Gardasil Lawsuits
As the CDC and FDA continue to monitor for potential Gardasil risks, several lawsuits have been filed against the HPV vaccine’s manufacturer, Merck, alleging Gardasil paralysis, heart palpitations and death, among other problems. Because the drug manufacturer is required to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products, or at the very least warn of potential Gardasil dangers, young women and men who suffered from serious Gardasil vaccine side effects may be able to participate in a similar legal action.
