Gardasil: When Will our Nightmare End?
My daughter, Abbey, was a healthy happy 13 year old when she started secondary school. On the 22nd September 2014 she received her Gardasil vaccine along with the Tdap vaccine in school. She had an adverse reaction straight away. For over an hour, she was left lying on a mat on the floor while the rest of the girls were being vaccinated. During this time she had seizure-like jerking, rolling eyes, blurred vision, headache, nausea etc. Eventually after an hour and twenty minutes we were called to the school to pick her up. No ambulance was called. The school administrators were not informed this episode had happened until the next day. When I arrived at the school and asked why an ambulance wasn’t called, I was told I was OVERREACTING and this would wear off. The next day, her mother and I thought Abbey was suffering withdrawals. Little did we know our nightmare was only getting started.
