The risks are extremely high, as are the risks with any type of new medication or vaccine. Two years ago a friend of mine gave her daughters the shot. Soon after, her 12-year-old started losing the feeling in her limbs. She was rushed to the ER and soon after admitted to the Peds ICU and placed on a ventilator. She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barr. Fortunately for her, she lived. The HPV vaccine has caused a number of deaths in the last couple of years, numerous cases of Guillain-Barre, and is known to not treat all causes of HPV.
