I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the Gardasil vaccine does have a variety of unpleasant symptoms. I, too, had a very negative reaction, especially to my second injection. I developed flu-like symptoms each time and severe muscle aches that lasted several days. However, I believe it was completely worth it. Just within the last year, I have had several friends contract the strains of HPV that cause both genital warts AND cancer, with one developing moderate dysplasia of the cervix that required intense medical treatment. Very scary.
Just so that you know, the Gardasil vaccine DOES NOT contain a live or dead strain of the virus like many vaccines. It could be that your daughter caught something right around the same time. I hope that you are able to figure out the cause of her illness and that she begins feeling better soon.
